[ramcharger]

Here's the crate on it's way to hell! There's Ol' Scratch at the wheel burnin' rubber and stealin' souls while flying through the lava canyons on the road to the underworld. Comments welcome!






Thanks for looking!

I can hear AC/DC in the background. If you you need something a little more mellow Chris Rea.

Fantastic build, the display knocks it out of the park! I love it!

That came out nice! A lot of folks have ill feelings or thoughts towards anything with the devil, but he's kind of a fun little horny guy! LOL! I did one a few years back and I love the kit! I'm glad to see them reissuing all of the others in the series as well! Nice work!

Pretty cool!

How'd you make the lava canyons? Spray foam?

Uh, no. Sometimes they just come out the way they are supposed to! Thanks for the compliment though. It's funny you mention "Highway to Hell", I kept thinking the same thing when I was building it. The "Lava" is spray insulating foam from Lowes. Which, by the way, takes a long time to set up and keeps expanding for God knows how long. I looked at photos of real lava to get the coloring right. The very bottom piece of wood was necessary because the 1/4" birch plywood warped after I painted it black so I had to screw it to something firm which necessitated figuring out how to hide the screw heads and the idea for lava was born. I'm glad you guys like it, now on to the next project! I have a Manglia to finish and a '49 Merc on deck.

Ron ......I built one a few years ago.....I wish it would have came out 1/2 as great as yours did......this build is totally AWESOME.......great job my friend.

[ramcharger]

Thanks, again guys! It means a lot coming from such great modelers. John, I really appreciate your comments, I've been a fan of your work for a while.

Excellent build, Satan looks fantastic, and the base completes it. I'm planning a build of this kit, yours will be an inspiration. I love this build!

[hobbybobby]

Awesome looking build, Ron, love the mods & Base! ;D ;D ;D

The devil's in the details and yours looks fantastic. As I kid I learned to avoid the kits based around huge figures: the box art looked great but inside was a huge piece of white plastic. Yikes!

They really don't lend themselves to being build out of the box. I remember the Roth Fink kits and how impossible they were to build as a kid. You could say I'm getting revenge on the kits that kicked my butt as a kid. Nothing worse as a 10 year old than having that really cool kit turn out nothing like the box art!

You turned out an awsome build. The attention to deatail is mind-blowing. Good thing the base warped. It helped you create a better display. Great painting! Great artistic impression! It also remionds me of the AC/DC song, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" since he is obviously out on a romp and heading back to Hell. You get an A+ and a gold star! LOL
