"MOGGY" BOOGIE (Doctor Cranky's 1935 Morgan) 1/16th Scale

[Dr. Cranky]

Oh yeah, the Doctor was feeling it the minute he saw the MINI CRAFT MINIATURES kit on sale at SQUADRON HOBBIES. The I saw the Jay Leno episode with his own MOGGY, and I was hooked.

There are several video updates over at THE CRANKY SHOW of this build in progress, but here are the completed pictures.

Not a kit for beginners, and certainly a challenge for those of you with welding skills. I'd love to see someone make the frame for this one out of brass tubing. That would be so cool.

It's a wonderful kit but a bit finicky at times.

Enjoy, Crankyheads!

The paint is British Racing Green by Tamiya. Even though it looks grainy on these pictures, the paint has been buffed and shined.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Santiago.

SWEET man!!! I don't think I could even fit in a real one!!!!! LOL!!!!!

[cobraman]

Very cool build. You did a heck of a job on her.

[Harry P.]

After watching your progress videos of this model on the Cranky Show, I decided I have to get one of these babies!

I'm spending my grocery money on model kits... and I blame you!

[Jantrix]

Wow. That's a new side from you Doc, nice work.

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL! Yes, blame it all on me. This is my first 1/16th scale kit and I think I am hooked on these bigger scales.

[Sixx]

LOL! Yes, blame it all on me. This is my first 1/16th scale kit and I think I am hooked on these bigger scales.

First biggie???? No way!!!! You made it look real man. Not my kind of " car " but I dig it!!!!!!!!!!!

[rmvw guy]

Totally different from the Doc, are you feeling alright? I like it a lot and what a surprise! Nice choice of color and another beautiful build from the laboratory. Congrats.

Nicely done Virgil!

I could see you weathering one of those, and transplanting a 1/12 Revell V-twin (or two ) onto it for extra ponies

[heinz74]

nice clean build Doctor!..

and yeah in bigger scale everything even looks better up close..speaking of which how long is this kit in total..cause i have no idea what the size of a real Morgan is...it looks small(ish) as a kit

[Dyno Davo]

Yep, very cool subject. Wondered what one would look like. What about a ratrod version me wonders

[ChrisR]

Nice build!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, everyone. Yes, this is my first big scale build, and I can see quickly running out of whatever little room I have if I can building them. LOL.

[clovis]

Absolutely stunning!!!

[Mooneyzs]

Virgil... this is totally cool. Nice work on this one.

[Tony T]

[PBII]

i have this kit and now i know how it should look like when its done right - perfection as always nice one Doc

[sjordan2]

Beautiful work. Is that the kit chrome?

Welcome to the world of 1/16. I think you'll especially like what you can do with the Model A kits (but I cringe to think what you'd do with the classic luxury cars!!)

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL, Skip!

[bryan_m]

minicraft has some nice kits, the lhs has a beautiful 1/16th scale lincoln by minicraft, i think i might get it, and do it all stock, nice and shiney black! it already has opening doors and stuff, all it would need is a killer paintjob, and alot of detail wiring/plumbing....
