Thanks!

Confusing.....is it a DVD? or a Book? At first it says DVD, but then talks about 120pages and over 200 photos.

My typo...it is a book...sorry for the confusion. I'm off to write 'book' 100 times on the blackboard......

Greetings all you CRANKYHEADS out there, Doctor Cranky is here to answer any questions you might have about this wonderful collaboration between AK-Interactive and Doctor Cranky's Lab-RAT-ory. I poured my heart (and mind) into this book, so I hope everyone finds it useful at the bench and fun to read.

Doc, I've seen your handywork in Model Cars magazine and am a fan. Where do you come up with some of those ideas for your builds? What's your muse?

I'd like to get that book for added ideas and insite.....will the book be offered thru AKi or will there be another{other} source{s}?

Thank you, yes, I believe it will also be available through AK-INTERACTIVE USA. I hope to be able to have copies available through my own website which should open by this coming Friday just in time for the book to be released.

Thank you for the kind words. I've been a big fan of the artistic genius of Mig Jimenez for years and what makes him a genius is not his great models (although those are AMAZING), what makes him so good is the fact he is a true Alchemist when it comes to coming up with great products, which Doctor Cranky has adopted in his tool arsenal in the Lab-RAT-ory.

Doc, great to see you here. Iain at AK interactive USA believes the book should be in soon and hopefully we'll have a copy to review asap from him...just to get everyone drooling...

When you get your website up and running let me know ([email protected]) and I'll add a link in the news.

Oh yeah, we{I} need a go to place for these pearls of wisdom and ideas. My LHS is having issues since last fall- seems they can't get in Model car mag for nothing so I've been left out in the cold for good reading and ideas....cept here of course!

Thanks, my friend, I will, it should be up and running by this coming weekend. I will keep you posted.

Very good news, very good indeed.
Would be nice to see a few pics, from the book.
Definitely sounds like a must have

I was actually under the impression that this was going to be a DVD as well. I'm glad it's a book and I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

Just found the Book on the USA site- here's a link folks for those of you who are interested-
