MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Thank you all. @R. Thorne - that was the same kit I just picked up to start with. @1972coronet - I didn't know about the reverse lamps - that's interesting! @Ace-Garageguy - great article - thank you for that! @Dr Cobra - thank you, those small details are so cool. --- Is the 1965 Grill readily available in kit or aftermarket form? This is the '65, and includes the vertical bars, and the "mesh" behind the grill looks different than the '66 (I'm sure you guys all know that, just trying to find this in scale). Found this nice graphic:
  2. Hello All. Looking to build a model of my friend's Mustang from when we were (much) younger. He always referred to it as a "64 and a half" model. I'm aware of the old 1/16 scale AMT kit, but would like to build something in the more common 1/25 or 1/24 scale. Thoughts on how to best approach this? From some of what I've read, the differences between the early 1965's (aka 64 1/2) and other 1965 models are really just minor details that might not be noticed in scale. This is not his, but it looked a lot like it, if memory serves. Thanks in advance.
  3. Thanks! At least the surf boards survived. The resin rear bumper actually broke into 3 pieces - I hope I can salvage that. I may make a few small changes as I rebuild this - to be determined...
  4. Well ... decided to strip the body and start over. Goal is to salvage as much as possible from the original build. *sigh* Cleaned up (again), primed, and got the top painted. I'll have to do something about the marker lights and such, as they've lost some detail from all of the painting, striping, sanding, priming cycles.
  5. Getting close. I took a chance on the Rallye decals and I'm not sure if I like them or not. The AMT (Round2) decals confirm to curves "okay". I should have waited until the side panels dried completely before adding the hood decals. I got ahead of myself (I blame the dehydrator) and now I have a big fat gap in the stripe across the front quarter panel. It's done now. Need to add mirrors, possibly an antenna, and I now see that I forgot to paint the front marker/signal lights.
  6. What a beautiful build! And nice photography, too.
  7. Nice work. I always thought this was a pretty classy paint scheme.
  8. Trim completed, wheels stripped and sprayed with Alclad, Interior finished.
  9. Nicely done! I tried to build the Heller kit when I was kid and was, no surprise, unsuccessful. Impressive work with the decals.
  10. Awesome work. Cast this body in resin and sell us a few copies! Really enjoying what you've done so far; and as others have stated, it'll be nice to see a "different" Cobra!
  11. Thank you. I need to take pictures outside - but it's raining here today.
  12. Thank you. In person, it's sorta, kinda, maybe a little close to Grenoble Green. Well, definitely 70's green of some shade.
