Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks, everyone. Donn, I am going to hold off building any more of them until next year when I will build one every month. Crazy? Yes. Fun, I hope so.
TLes Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Nice job Doc, like mentioned above, would like to see some pics of items in trunk. I find that making some detail items is as much fun as building the car. It's easy to get carried away. 32's are always great!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Tom, ideally the amp and guitar would go in the trunk, but instead I put the moon tank in there and scattered some magazines. They help draw the eye in to the area.
rmvw guy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Here's the one I was talking about Doc. Loving the junk in the trunk.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Oh yes, lots of that! A-Haw, Haw, Haw, Haw!
Alyn Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 What an awesome build to give this new kit a jump start. No one could have been better for the job. Your 32 should give others a glimpse at the potential of this kit.
W-409 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 As always, Doctor amazes me with his excellent builds! Really like this one, the "Black" looks really good and fits nicely on this one. You pulled this out very fast, Congratulations on that, too. All the "Junk" in trunk and interior, nice ideas all over (For example the Crankshaft as Frame Crossmember etc) make this pop out! Really nice.
shucky Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Awesome DC! That was a quick build but the results are outstanding as usual. Love all the little details. As always, thanks for sharing!
RatRod Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Not building the same as everybody else is what makes us unique, and your one unique kinda guy Virgil!!! Definitely different, but fun too. Love that amp.
vaughn Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Turned out great Doc !! I believe you said this is all in acrylic ? Is there a matt finish that you spray on top of the finished product as you would with gloss finishes on enamsls or lacquers ? Great job !!!
Darbo Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Another awesome build Doc! When do you ever get time to sleep!
Ramfins59 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 That's a beautiful build Virgil. I love it.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks once again, everyone. I really appreciate it.
Duntov Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Virgil: This is some very nice work.... I think Nato Black and several of the other Tamiya military colors are overlooked and that is really too bad.....IJN green is another great one for a 1950's light green color and matches a lot of stock colors for the period.... I am also going to try Nato Green for a 32 highboy with a Nato Black chassis.....Nato Black is still one of my favorites.... Regards Bill (Duntov)
vintagedragfan Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 this build turned out fabulous Doc, I love every thing about it, weathering is spot on!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Thank you, Bill and Bill. Yes, Nato black is well represented here in my paint room.
geetee66 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Blimey! Your builds really inspire me, man! I showed this to some friends who don't build kits... they thought it was 1:1 I hope that one day, with a lot of practice and a bit of luck, I can build half as well as you
drifterdon Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Way COOL build. Love the crank spreader and the work you did on the grill/radiator area. Very Rat!
