MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. @cifenet, Thanks again for checking in and for your comments. Base color on. I had to decant an old aerosol can of OSH Safety Green and use the AB. Thanks for looking...
  2. This subassembly now has a sort of, Alejandro "Burda" Burdisio, or Ian McQue, design going on here. Now prepped for primer.
  3. I misread the original post. I thought you were saying that your Picture of something (in this case your model), was being posted for sale by someone else on the internet. Then seeing your post of the, For Sale Ad. It's a scam ad for your diorama being for sale.
  4. More work on the cab interiors. Filling ejector pin marks. The driver’s cab has these as well but I don’t need to fill them all. One of the control panel parts covers most of it. I only need to fill one on this part, see arrow
  5. Worked on some interior cab detail. The assembly instruction sheets for the FUG are very thorough and clear but you have to study carefully. (G49) inserts into the slots and over lapse the front edge of (F6). Then the seat assembly is positioned by the front of part (G48) to the front edge of (F6). The seats assemblies are identical until the build gets to parts (G16), the seat adjustment knobs. Insert and glue one of them into the left side of one then into the right side of the other. Once this is done, the commander’s seat and the operator’s seat are established.
  6. Very nice finish. The front glass looks flawless with the replacement clear part. Your painting skills are off the hook!
  7. The hole was drilled for the air brake line which will be installed later. Gray primer first for repairs if needed. Yes, it needed 😁 sanding and filling. Then a coat of white to the front. Then vinyl tape masking for the caution lines. This was sprayed with flat black from an aerosol can.
  8. Went back into the spare parts box to find material to make the front and rear 'Pilot' parts. See reference photo... Then the brackets were made from more parts from the spares box... A template was made then this shape was scribed onto the parts then cut to shape. Then the brackets were shaped to fit around the detail of the traction wheel parts... I'll glue these onto the model after painting.
  9. ^ (s) = Drive shaft that was shortened to fit this model was found in the spare parts box. (a) = additional length of plastic tube glued to the end of the rear drive shaft part to enable the traction wheel differential to slide forward and rearward. ^ ^ (a) = Inserts into rear traction diff. (t) = Transfer case from the FUG kit. ^
  10. Super cool project. I like that you found a Ford motor to put in it.
  11. There isn't very much modern railroad accessories in 1:35 so I have to make the couplers from scratch. The reference photo from the internet shows this unique style coupler. I cut apart another old model tank for the mount and a couple rocket tubes for the knuckles. This photo makes the model look wonky but it's the close up angle of the photo... I think
