Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 While the washes dry, I turned my attention to getting the wiper marks on the windshield . . . always a fun task and one that really is old school but very effective . . . It all leads to this anatomical break down of this build . . . (with lots of pieces still needing paint, weathering and detailing!)
Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 I posted the wrong picture above for the windshield masking . . . here it is:
Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Another round of mock up pics for the fun of it and to help me stay CRANKED UP! Stay tuned in for more . . . I believe this one will be done by this coming weekend!
bandit1 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 hey nice so far but what about the chrome grill and headlight buckets they look to new to me??? nice so far!
Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Sean, good eye, yes, I still have to finish weathering and then I will tone the chrome down . . . in person you'd be able to see the chipping and pitting . . . I hit everything up with some dull coat and some rust stippling . . . Stay tuned in for more progress soon . . . thanks for your comments.

Dr. Cranky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 He spends most of his time visiting his favorite fire hydrant!
BOSWELL891 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Looking really good Dr. you make it look so real i just love it keep up the good work
Dr. Cranky Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks everybody, I should make some more progress today . . . stay tuned in, please . . .
Foxer Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I've been enjoying this one and that pipe rack looks like half the trucks around here. Can't wait to see all the junk that's gonna be thrown in there! Rain here all day so I'm heading to the big city to find some of that acrylic paint you recommended in another thread.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks buddy. Let me know if you had any trouble finding Floquil and or Vallejo Air Colors. I know MicroMark carries the Floquil colors . . .
Tony T Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Can I point out something funky about your sweep area, Doc?? The wipers would be flipping up on the roof. Wouldn't the wipers end up parallel with the sides of the windshield and then rest parallel with the bottom at the cowl for a 90 degree arc? Might be too late for the windshield on this one though.
scalenut Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 that caught my eye as well . , or maybe that's the way they actually arc ?
nybuilder Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I like the weathered look alot. I am going to have to do some more looking on the site and see if I can do one of my own.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Tony, by the time I realized it it was too late, but you are right . . . actually the final results (as you will see shortly) didn't turn out that bad . . . stay tuned in. Thanks for the good eyes!
Tony T Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I'm tuned in, Doc!! Keep it going!! Don't let him fall asleep EYEGORE!!
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 I'm tuned in, Doc!! Keep it going!! Don't let him fall asleep EYEGORE!! LOL! Yes, I am going to have to keep EYEGORE on his toes!
Danno Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Intelesting; velly intelesting. Ve shall see ...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks, Danno. Here's some more progress. I started to weather the chassis . . . with AK-INTERACTIVE products, in this case adding a few drops of FUEL STAINS to the engine . . .
