MichaelJ Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I know you have seen this, but I've built 4-6 of these and enjoy'ed every one. This is a clean and nicely done kit for the imagination! Thought I'd show it to ya again... Michaelj...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks, Roger, and Michael, that's a beautiful model. Thanks for sharing, and for the comments, everyone. Stay tuned in for more progress.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Making progress on all the other parts. The paint is finished and cleared and now I am just waiting for final assembly. Lots of details and touches left to do, etc . . .
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) So far this kit has not fought me at all. I was expecting the front suspension to do so since I modified the wheels spindles to drop the model a few scale inches, but it hasn't . . . not yet . . . Here are all the components, including the body which still needs to be polished and shined up. Edited October 19, 2012 by Dr. Cranky
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 This paint job has grown on me a little and it looks real nice in the sun light, but we'll see how it turns out once it is assembled. In the meantime, I really like a project when it's at this stage before completion:
Jantrix Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 WOW! That looks fantastic! Great colors, great effects. Why the purple on the rear piece?
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Because the rear end has purple in it and I wanted to convey a sense of all that electricity cooling off. LOL.
bryan_m Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 that looks great cranky!! killer paintjob.......i still have the "cosmic willys" here i need to assemble.........gotta get a kit tho. im really likin this one man, keep it goin cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks, B. Oh man, yeah, the cosmic 41. I had forgotten about that one.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Here's a video update of what this thing looks like outside in the sun light: Enjoy the video
bryan_m Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 i sent you a link cranky.......check out my buick! gonna watch the video now. bryan
Pat Minarick Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 That's one wild paint job ,looks killer!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks, we are making more progress. This one will be wrapped up soon.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 I was a bit worried about the stance on this sucker, so when I epoxied the glue and they looked firm, I tested the chassis with the body to see how it was going. Here are the results:
crazyjim Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Wild, SHINY :) paint and the perfect rake, doc.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks, Jim, something (I wonder what that could be?) told me you would like this one. LOL. So far I really really love the way this kit has come together. It's a little tricky to get the chassis into the body but I think going slow and careful does the job. Working on the interior, the engine, and some other details which are bound to slow me way WAY down.
LoneWolf15 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Stance is dead on ! That rake looks sweet ! I like the paint , wasn't sure when you first had it laid out where you were going with it . As usual , I just followed along to see where you ended up ! Lmao !
MichaelJ Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 LOVE that paint !!!!!!! Maybe just maybe one of these day's---I might be able to claim a paint job like that FANTASTIC!!! Michaelj...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks, everyone. This kit has me very intrigued because I can see myself just building several. It's a fun kit to work on, and it really does have a particular appeal whether you go stock, racing, custom, or even daily driver. Lots of potential for folks who want a fun model to build.
dimebolt Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Lookin awesome Doc!!! Yeah, that kit is awesome. There are so many different things you can do with it. Really like the paint. Looks wicked Doc. Corey
Dr. Cranky Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks, Corey. Love the guitars. Nice graphics on both. Rock on, buddy.
