Railfreak78 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I think I love to hate you or hate to love you lol!!! I am soooooooooo happy I don't have to face off against you in my model club. I hate that I am no where close to your skills and I love that you put it out there for us to learn. This truck is awesome!
RacinRay88 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 wowww wow wowowowowow! i never thought a hunk of junk could look so great!! perfect!
Tony T Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Wow, cool truck, and cool build! I can see why you were obviously so inspired!! Nice job on the replication of the finish!!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 13, 2010 Author Posted February 13, 2010 Thanks, everyone. Thank you for turning in . . . there will be more progress in the coming days.
weasel Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Spyder beat me to it, but, damcranky!! in just a couple days at that!!
Tom Kren Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 ###### Cranky that looks like ######..... I LOVE IT!!
Harry P. Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 As usual, your work is A+... especially the rusted out lower passenger door, that is about as realistic as it can possibly be.
Rat Fink Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Ok I'm gonna say the first one is real and the second one is real too.....even though it looks like a model.
ScrappyJ Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Another great project, Cranky! One of my favorite subjects too...
Nick Winter Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 thanks Cranky, you inspired me to do my own junker/beater/farm truck, I'm using a ford though, one question, how do you get the salt off after you apply it and do you apply the salt to the wet paint or dry
carbonar Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 thanks Cranky, you inspired me to do my own junker/beater/farm truck, I'm using a ford though, one question, how do you get the salt off after you apply it and do you apply the salt to the wet paint or dry WOW, thats what Im wondering how to do, becouse I was trying to use moisted salt to make a "sticky" compound, but when I airbrushed over it, almost all the salt was blown all over the place, and OHH NOOOO I ruined my model HAHAHA. I think I used too much pressure on the airbrush. Help please.
cruz Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Definitely one of my favorite modelers here, you are an awesome talent my friend!!!! Nothing better than taking your own reference photos to complete your work!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 I use around 15 psi when I'm up close . . . also my airbrush has an air valve on the hose I can turn down. Wait for the salt to dry and then it will have a stronger stick to it. You gotta go slow at first. Also, always practice on a throw-away body before you more on to the actual model you want to build. Trust me, you will get the hang of it after a couple of tries. Hope you post your progress so we can see . . . good luck.
tuffone20 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Wow you have done another great model!! The more I see what you have done with some of your builds the more I want to give it a try some time soon. Please keep the photos and info coming!!

Thank you so much for you help Cranky. Here in Brazil is hard to find a Great modeler like you that like's to share knowledge and experience. As soon I get home tonight I take some pictures of my model( sort of ruined RSRS) to post here.
Chuck Most Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Ah... yes! The salt technique! I swear by it! Well, sometimes I swear AT it, but still, 99.99999% of the time it never fails me!
Clay Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Great job as always, Virgil. I see that I have missed alot of great models coming from Cranky's Speed shop.
Blake Rogers Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) thanks Cranky, you inspired me to do my own junker/beater/farm truck, I'm using a ford though, one question, how do you get the salt off after you apply it and do you apply the salt to the wet paint or dry wet paint man then lightly brush it off after it drys Edited March 1, 2010 by moparfan426
