STYRENE ALL STARS

Here's Doctor Cranky's Lab-RAT-ory TOP TEN LIST OF CAR KITS.  This is a very personal list based on the kits that I have built time and again and enjoyed.  Also, note that this is a list of American Cars and kit manufacturers only.  This also in no way is meant to put down any kit manufacturers (current or defunct).  My choices are based on kit quality, ease of build, the looks of the finish product, etc.

FALL SWING

I know, I know the summer is not done yet, but I am back at the bench getting some projects finished and some new ones lined up.  Things are going good in the Lab-RAT-ory.  EYEGORE has turned yet another year as a faithful assistant.  He is 20 now.  Just a young whipper snapper.  LOL.  The kit companies continue to produce some great kits.  So many kits, so little time to build them all.

AK-INTERACTIVE in Spain (also in the United States) continues to put out some great quality products, including new airbrush-ready acrylic paints that are going to help take my weathering to the next level.  REVELL is putting out some very cool stuff by way of styrene.  Looking forward to their fall season releases.

If you get a chance (when you get a chance) stop by the Lab-RAT-ory YOUTUBE channel.  Lots of new videos, etc . . .

Please stay tuned in for more STYRENE FUN & ADVENTURES.   Yours, Doctor Cranky
