that paint is unbelievable! but whats with the water drop effect there? thats not a decal, right, you airbrushed it?

i am in awe, seriously. the snake pattern is captured so well and those water drops just look right! amazing!

Fantastic work Cranky! I saw the E Hubs videos for the water droplets and snake skin some time ago but I was too intimidated to try it. Your execution of the technique is very impressive. I can't wait to see more of this build.

Thanks, everyone. While I'm waiting for the rain to stop so that I can clear and buff this sucker, I worked on finishing the rolling chassis . . .

Cranky.... This is coming along Fantastic....The engine looks great in the chassis. Can't wait to see more progress. I have got to ask what did you use for the center caps for the wheels, they look great. I have been trying to figure out what to do or use for my rat rod....

Watch parts, buddy. I know I sound like a scratched record, but I always use a whole bunch of watch parts! I guess it's a stylistic thing with me!

Stay tuned in for more progress.

All right, maties, now that everything is shiny and dry, final assembly can begin. What I love about the Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland chopped 32 body is that it comes with a well-fitting etched windshield and clear acetate. You glue the windshield the acetate and then cut around and it drops right into the frame groove. Perfect fit!

I still have to add a few details like hoses, licesence plate, etc, and this one will be done . . .

Beautiful!!! She is looking great. do you get your watch parts online or from a local store? I hope you don't mind me asking all the questions that I have so far.

I don't mind at all, buddy. It's a forum, we share ideas here . . .

I get all my watch parts on line through Ebay. A few years ago I bought a few pounds of the stuff. Yes, you heard right, a few pounds. <_<:lol::blink:

I had to do a double take :lol: "did he really say a few pounds".... :lol: that would be alot of watch parts...lol Thanks again. I have to say that the one thing I love about this model board is that the people here are so friendly and helpful. I had another one I started to post at and just didn't feel that the vib there was as friendly

Again Fantastic job on this build Cranky..... I can't wait to see more builds from you. You do some amazing work my friend.
