STRIPTEASE 49 MERC (The Sultana of Old Burlesque)

[Harry P.]

But that should have gone under the mesh, not over it...

[Ira]

Great Interior Dr.!

[Dr. Cranky]

But that should have gone under the mesh, not over it...

LOL! It's--how can I put it, Harry--voluminous? HA!

Yes, I gotta clean up that G-string material. I did spray over it. If it every falls off it will be a patchy, splotchy . . . well, I can't say it here! :lol:

Thank you, Ira. I really like the contrast too. A few more dollar bills on the floor and some girly mags and it should be good to go.

You could have used some of Kens funny fur ! Oh no, did I say that ? Sorry

LOL, RAY, that would be totally unruly, wouldn't it? It would look like one of those UNRULY + NAME OF US PRESIDENT IN 2002. :lol:

Dr. where did you get the bee hive oil filter from?

[Dr. Cranky]

Brendan, it comes with the Revell "LIMITED EDITION" 49 Merc kit. This kit is full of goodies, including a pretty sweet engine.

[Brendan30]

Sweet, I just bought it!! Christmas day!!

[Dr. Cranky]

It's one of my favorite all-time kits, so you will have fun with it. It always builds into a nice model . . . Have fun and enjoy the styrene journey.

All right, folks, here's a video UPDATE . . .

Thanks, John. Personally I stay away from such establishments that serve those all-you-can-eat buffets. I try not to mix my pleasure. LOL!

I should have this vehicle finished in the next couple of days, and then I can focus on the theater, and when the lights arrive, I can start the show.

Thanks for the generosity of spirit and comments. Best, DC

[Dr. Cranky]

What I love about this kit is how easy it all comes together. I am currently working on the engine, so this one is going to get wrapped up in the next few days here . . .

Here's some progress:

I really do like the fact that you can still some of the interior through the mesh on the heart.

[Dr. Cranky]

My favorite angle because I really like those pasties . . . :lol:

[Sixx]

Oh man that's a trip Doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( insert " wolf " whistle )

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Derrick . . . I just have the engine to finish and this one will be done. I'm still missing a few details, like the side mirror, etc . . .

[Kustom Rodder]

Interior looks great Doc the build is coming along very nice .

[Dr. Cranky]

Thank you, Mike.

[Tommy Kortman]

Hey Doc,

This has been a fantastic build to follow. I love the idea. Gotta ask...for the $$, did you just photo reduce actual currency?

Can't wait to see the finished product.

[Dr. Cranky]

Tommy, thank you. If you go to GOOGLE IMAGE and punch in DOLLAR BILL you'll get a whole bunch of graphics you can photo reduce to make fake money. I printed them up between 1/4 and 1/2 inch just because if you go too small, you really can appreciate the look.

[Tommy Kortman]

Thanks for the info Doc.

[Brendan30]

Doc, what did you use for the Leopard print? is printed on paper?

[Dr. Cranky]

Brendan, yes, it's printed paper coated in Dullcoat or art fixative on both sides so that the ink don't bleed . . .

Thank you for all the generous comments, my friends, stay tuned in for more progress. I've got all the engine parts painted and ready for assembly.

Thanks Doc, I appreciate it. Really great idea.

[Dr. Cranky]

Here are some lights that I think are going to come in handy for models and dioramas, and I plan to use them on this build.

I think the term "rode hard and put away wet" describes the Merc and the stage. Way to go, Virg.
