MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Well I'm done with this .... Kind of a fast Build , sorry it's only one photo , my camera , is not focusing well , gonna run out of battery life . today I noticed the grille I just glue was too high , so I took a dremel and cut the grille out , and and filed the sides just a little at the bottom , too lower the grille in the frame , BETTER ! Shouldn't have have use the super glue to seep down in the interior joints , cause the windows are now cloudy , Left the interior molded white , and there's no transmission hump in the interior .... Maybe I'll post more when I have new battries...
  2. I'm guessing the actual car has a old chassis from a 40 ford or something, Just a guess .. Because that front axle looks old!!!!!!!!
  3. Wow , that's gotta be Super Rare ! I don't remember a 68 camaro .
  4. Your right the top is not seprate , like yours, mine is paint it , glue it , glue it in the shell .. I got glue on the top glass , but didn't realize it till it dried ! I guess I could take it out and just add some cheap clear plastic from a house hold product ,that still comes in it's clear packaging , if you know what I mean ....
  5. You got some cool unbuilt models .... that 1959 Rambler looks rare .... Save the box too.... I framed the miss Deal funny car box ,and double whammy .. That Papa truck looks interesting ,,, you could have a tow Rig....
  6. Not Sure what you mean by the stack ? You should build that shuttle it looks good , although the painting is gonna take some time . That was the hardest , all the masking I did , just crazy , then I did some more masking a second time cause I didn't like the way the paint ( black) bled through the white. My interior was a piece you had to paint and ,glue seats in ,,, then glue into the body of the shuttle... If that helps ,,, Yeah my friend said he paid $80.00 for it, and then he stop working on it , then lost his job, and then needed money , so I bought it for $40. plus got a dodge daytona 1/24 scale charger , maybe I should start working on that , it's got the rear wing , that's 4 foot high . Mike .... Your right no tile on Mine !
  7. Built this a while a go! The headers didn't fit great out of the box,So I took square styrene ,glued on cylinder head and then added headers from "Double Whammy" , and viola! Also closed up the cut outs on the wheel base with Bondo , for a clean rocker panel . The parchute kept falling off ,because I glued it under / or behind the trunk , didn't want to ruin paint on trunk lid . So there it is , a 1953 studebaker! Funny Car !
  8. Here's my space shuttle , it's a Monogram Kit , a Friend needed money , so I bought the unfinsh kit ,it's 1/72 in scale so it's HUGE. Still on the work bench ,as it has a satillite ,i guess , and something else for the Bay .. Not happy with the bottom where the nozzle's are , as the top didn't fit snug , so I glued it anyway .. would like to redo that ,but afraid the plastic would break in a irregular shape ,,, So not sure which decals to apply , there's columbia, or discovery decals ....and the shuttle is not glued to the tank , I was getting frustrated with all the painting ,and not building , but I finally got it together......
  9. Here's a PRO Street Studebaker , under glass,,,, Been done for awhile , looks like I short change the floor area in the trunk.......
  10. Well here's one under glass , kudo's to my photography teacher who said one time ,to photo something all one color. I've pulled this off the shelf to photograph ! It's been done a while . Looking at it now , I can see pink bondo on the dash top . I have to take a picture of the chassis. All I did was cut the rear frame rails ,move them in ,and short the diff, added wider tubs for the slicks, the front chassis , add a new frame section , also wanted a metal axle in the front so the tires would roll . Added styrene under the blower to get height, Maybe lengthen the blower a bit. Really more pictures should be added......
  11. I like your 1949 or 1950 ford 2 door coupe ... mexican blanket is a nice touch ...... expensive hobby now ..... Mike , wisconsin
  12. Well I pin stripe the white , just gonna leave it the way it is. Not gonna go for the nashty look , not the right car , Paint isn't right , but it is what it is! Hope you like it! Too bad it's not a real car. Mike
  13. Well ,here's the green on the body , if I'm wrong to post the magazine picture , I won't do it again. I'm thinking bordering the green paint with white pin stripe or yellow. Wondering how to apply the black shading , I'll get it maybe.
