Clay Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Cranky, I dont think you could ever mess any of these up. Great Job!!
Tumbler75 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 V these are stunning. Simply stunning. They belong in a museum for modern art and masterpieces. I'm sure Giger would be proud of these great works of automodelling art. Keep up the great work. Your work is inspiring to try new things as many other members here are too. Thanx! I'm honoured to be a member of a forum with such great masters as yourself and others.
boohoo Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Here are a couple of more . . . these look bathed in maple syrup! The fenders were stripped of their chrome and then reshot in metalizer paints. I've built about a dozen 49 Mercs since it came out almost two years ago, and I think after the next dozen I should be familiar with all the kit's kinks and qwerks. thiose two merc`s are absolutley gourgous when i saw that the first pic i thought that was real smoke coming out of the bonnets
cotto Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Truly amazing work my friend, always a joy to see your work!
Dr. Cranky Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your comments. It's always fun to build something excited, made doubly so when folks are watching.
LO51 MERC Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Each and every sub-assembly is a work of art. What talent and skill! The finished models are incredible, just incredible. Gary
Dr. Cranky Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks, Gary. I like these two so much I am going to return to a couple of earlier Mercs and finished them. Now that I am rather intimate with all the little tips and tricks to get these suckers to sit just right. If you build these with the custom skirts you will need to modify the rear suspension and it doesn't hurt to cut down the front one too. Just so that the wheels sit perfectly.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Here are a couple of pics of the two I'd like to finish now: This one is called THE POLYNESIAN MERC This one is ENVYLICIOUS: Yes sir, gotta finish 'em this year. Edited March 21, 2010 by DamnCranky
Railfreak78 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Very stunning my friend I really like the gear set up one one of the 1st ones as well as the whole green and gold combo on the latter.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks, Brian. Yes, they are all keeping me enthused about building 'em.
