The Revell/Monogram 59 Caddy is selling on Amazon for 14.95, which is pretty darn cheap compared to some other kits!

Thanks, J. We are trying to have fun in 2009, that's all we're trying to do!

Back in 2000 when the world didn't come to an end, I thought every year after is pure gravy!!! :lol::blink::lol:

I am aghast !! Never seen anything like it. Unbeleivable. But damcranky, if you don't mind me asking. What is the purpose of the first black basecoat?

Posted

That's a great question. The purpose for it in my mind is to start with a black canvas so that I can erase it as I spray the silver . . . it's an old habit of mine, I guess, though yes, if you want to skip it, it certainly can be skipped . . . .

I guess you can also primer the body in black Plastikote and start that way . . . ;)

Thank you! And I hope you guys keep checking back for some progress reports . . . like this one:

Well, it took me a few hours to get it done, but I got it done.

The question is, how unlucky are you gonna be if you don't ride shotgun with Mr. D?

;):P:D

I'm just tickled abou this one!

By the way, the head zapper (O Lordy!!!) moves up and down to fit all sizes!!! :D:D:D

Once I get it all painted, I can put in the straps for that ultra realistic look, oh, and the little sign on the backrest: SPARKY :D:D:D

Okay, the Dupont clear is on there, three coats . . . and if it continues to look this good, then I might not buff it . . . I hate buffing paintjobs!!! ;):P:D

OH MY GOSH B):D

This is just "TOO COOL" :P .

I really wish I had this kind of imagination and creativity. This is just so "way outta the box" amazing.

What a wonderfully "TWISTED" :) way of "BLOWIN OUR MINDS" with your skills and "SIDEWAY'S" thinking.

I'd love to see you and ######'N"black (CB) get together on a build, and let your idea's run crazy.

Non of us can help but watch this build - THIS NEEDS TO BE IN A MAGAZINE!!!! - dave

It took me a while to get the pose as good as I could given the nature of this wonderful skeleton (Thanks Jairus!!!), but I still don't know if I am going to use it . . . I like the idea of a pile of smouldering ashes on the seat . . . more menacing that way, plus it will match what is in the trunk. Trunk!!! Alas, but I get ahead of myself! :)B):D

This dude is photogenic, all right, and if I'm not mistakened, he's even turning to strike a pose for the camera!!!

So you think me & Virg should get together on a build, Dave? on what planet? :P:lol::lol:

T'anks fer the compliment, but, I don't know 'bout that.........whatta you think Doc? :)

As fer Dave sayin' "THIS NEEDS TO BE IN A MAGAZINE!!!!"

---methinks maybe a book :o with all yer builds in it would be sooooooo fine ;)

Looks to me like you got the perfect pose here, Virg, with his head

tiltin' down a bit anyhow. I just can't get the idea of a 'showerhead'

outa my noggin lookin at that green thing. :) Wonder if'n it had some

leather chinstrap hangin' off'n it? B)

IMG_0003-vi.jpg

Just had me another thought :P ----MARDIS GRAS!!! perfect parade car!

most excellent work Virg :D

Thanks for the input, buddy. I think I am going to go ahead and use the skeleton, but I am going to figure out a way of making him stand out a little more . . . more than just a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a brewsky in his hand . . .

I love the ashes idea, and since I smoke cigars I always have a great supply the real stuff! :angry:<_<:lol:
