Turbo Shark

[howardcohen]

Some of you may have known Rick Grant, aka Krazy Rick, who passed away last November 11th. He was krazy...about cars...and a very good painter and builder. Today I got one of his builds, the very vintage MPC Turbo Shark. I have mounted it in a Tamiya showcase to keep it safe. It will remind me of the many times he telephoned me...at 5AM...to talk about whatever related to cars. It will also remind me of his ability to get lost when going somewhere, a very bad sense of direction 🙂 But his ability to build, mold putty and paint was way above average...enjoy 🙂

Thanks Krazy 🙂

I loved all of Rick's builds and this Turbo Shark was one of my favorites !
Awesome that you're able to display this in Rick's memory .

Good stuff.  I too have a bad sense of direction! 

Did Rick have any kind of online place to show off his work?

Rick had a couple of groups in ProBoards but I do not have any links to them.
