Dr. Cranky Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I got the base done, which is simple enough. A cigar box lid wrapped in tape, with papyrus and sand and some paint . . . I hope you can read the lettering, which I wanted to be somewhat subtle . . . . I want to thank all of you for keeping the Lab-RAT-ory crew inspired with your own amazing styrene addiction and eye candy. It's always a blast to build for such a dedicated and fun group. By the way, if any of you have some photoshop skills, I would love to see this one cut and pasted in front of some pyramids in the distance. BTW--the sarcophagus and mummy I bought on line . . . and it just happened to be almost in scale!
crazyjim Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Outstanding, doc. I followed the build and am still amazed. Wonderful.
moparfarmer Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Not my type of deal but very well done. I always wish I could do such things like you've done. Excellent work and very enjoyable following it through.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 Thanks . . . you know, it's not my cup of teal, either, my usual, but it's good to break off and do something different every once in a while.
Ryan S. Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Nice job on this one Doc. Came out great. I love the different colors. The base looks really good too. How cool would it be to see a similar themed hearse to put that sarcophagus into! Yowza!
Dr. Cranky Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 That's a great idea, Ryan . . . maybe convert the Old Bootshill Express . . .
Foxer Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Looking good! I thought the headlights might need an alignment, but then there are those crypt zombies erupting from the ground!
Terror Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Crazy Nice build doc.I whipped this up.I don't have any pyramid pics,sorry.

Dr. Cranky Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks, Terry. Oh, man, I love that. I gotta take a picture of just the model without anything around it. Stay tuned in for a few better pics . . . I really appreciate it.
jeffs396 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 That is one WILD build Virgil! Very well done!
Dr. Cranky Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
John Teresi Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Dr........you thank us for watching this build?......we all need to thank you for the inspiration and to look up on your Fantastic art and skill......thank you so much for all your presentation and such a Awesome build.
Wagoneer81 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) You thank us for watching this build... We truly enjoyed it! I truly thank you, Virgil, for taking the time to put everything together in the Audio/Video aspect to show what you are putting together in the Plastic aspect... your videos are true gifts that inspire me to build... Not go wacko nuts, throw away the directions, out of the box, forget the box build... but to simply get the energy and focus together to actually build a nice, fun model... have a pleasant couple of hours at the workbench doing something I'm good at but sometimes lack the energy or dexterity to tackle. And I thank you for that, Virgil, I truly thank you! You and several others keep this hobby fresh and hopping and it is ALL greatly appreciated and taken in as fun, entertainment and inspiration! Guys, This is what the Pharoh took out on Date night with is number one girl... Ya know, gotta get away from the city for a bit, find a little secluded spot down by the Nile... Have a little honey mead, some unleavened bread, a nosh of goat cheese... Maybe see if he can talk her into trying for an heir to the throne... Ahh, what a life.... Massively crazy, Virgil! I am blown away. My weird-o-meter pegs out every time I look at your stuff! I keep breaking them. Wonderful! You have a follower, here. Now; the question; Who is crazier? The Nut? or the Nut who follows him? BLARAHAHAHAHAHAHA *EAErp* *cough* *Hack* *sshhhnorrnk* ....... Whoooo *Wipes Forehead*.. ok, I'm better now...really! Well done!

Dr. Cranky Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks, everyone. It's all in the fun of building and sharing!
VooDooCC Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I did this one real quick, couldn't find a good pyramid for it though, so the car's not quite to scale, and at an odd angle.
Chuck Most Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Like that pic, Justin... looks like its about to launch over the pyramid!
Terror Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 This one looks a little better than my last one Virgil.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Terry, that looks just right. I gotta get you an eye-level, side picture so that the pyramids loom larger in the back ground. I love that. THANK YOU!
David G. Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Excellent work! I really enjoy your dark sense of whimsy. I'm reminded of the dark humor in the old Corman horror films of the 60' & 70's. David G.
walt francis Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Virgil, I have to say...You Are Mad !!!!! but in a great way.
