MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Wow! Looks cool, Tom! The roof is 3D printed too?
  2. Interesting project! I like the engine most of all! Tail gate and front bumper looks great too!
  3. Hello to everyone! Thanks to Dennis and Anton for kind words! Holly days were well spent. Construction from styrene was completed more or less. This base used to accept epoxy patty I tried it on to the cabin. There is still something to work on However, it already looks familiar Thank you for interest!
  4. Hello again! Some little progress on body. Slightly changed stamp line on front fenders. It should be curved. Rear springs were down sized (minus 3 mm) to lower rear part of a car. Thank you for interest!
  5. Hello Joseph! Nice project! I guess you are building non exactly the same truck, as on top pictures. It has different style (facelifted) hood, then Plaskit have.
  6. Well done, Warren! How have you done the windscreen? I've made a mandrel to vacuform the windscreen on mine. Interesting choise of chassis color & cab handel color. Nice touch with sanders & tail bumper. I would work a little more with head lights.
  7. Well done, Charles! I'm impressed every time with how you make unique models from scratch. By the way: where are those dash board panels came from? I'm asking because I have to make the same thing for my Ironhide project.
  8. Hello, Friends and all sympathizers! I looked at the date of the last post and shed tears. TopKick was left forgotten and abandoned. The frame is lying on the top shelf, it is lying... Until someone decided to wipe the dust off on the closet and swept the frame off the shelf along with the dust, GD! But about everything in order: For example, here are some parts straight from the printer! Many thanks to friend of mine In addition to the tank, there are caps for the front hubs at the bottom, and the hubs themselves, which have already flashed here. And of course, I immediately (almost) rushed to attach the tank to the frame. We all remember, and for those who do not remember, I will duplicate that there was such a photo: Yeah! this means that there are not enough steel belts and guides. I like it! And here they are! And here we will return to the frame that fell off the shelf.The brackets to which the rear "earrings" were attached were burst. And I fussed and made it out of copper. Also I redesigned the semicircular blocks that are between the springs and the arched part of the earring. They are made of a semicircular 3.2 mm rod and some kind of limiters were glued the ends of them from 0,2mm styrene. Otherwise the "earrings" always fall off the blocks. Now, after I tried to draw the hood in program and failed, I started to make it in old school manner
  9. Thank you, Anton! I've forgot to show the instrument used for hinge bending: And a little more progress about tail lights Red things - are stock parts
  10. Thank you, Mike! I appreciate it! I categorically welcome everyone! Summary of previous episodes: As you remember, there was a ragged edge left: ... after that vandalism But we will cover this mess with aluminum tin Yes, in the foreground are blanks for new stamplines I didn't like the front body shield. It stands as if he is an important detail, and not some kind of S. But it should look like: In short, I cut it out. And the right shield took its place. Well, there's a better trim lines on the door now. Loops.... I threw out the old ones. I cut new ones out of copper, because I bent/unbent aluminum once - they broke. Copper forgives this for the time being. On the left - cutting, on the right - bent loops. From above, door's loop, from below - bodie's loop. So how does it work: And now - on Camino: The joy of the eyes Yes, I almost forgot: I have joy! Friend of mine has grown mirrors! For which he has a big ARIGATO!
  11. Hello again! Was busy some months/ Let's continue! I took up the steering column for a change. After and Before The steering wheel switches are made of a pin and a toothpick The tail door was too thick, so I manage to cut it out and take off excess fat Please note: the bottom of the rear side is almost a centimeter thick. It is clear that this is done to facilitate the removal of the model from the mold, but I would make the tailboard separate.... Well - I did so. For speed, I removed the thickness from the inside with a circular saw, and she jumped to the front side. Fail! Filled with glue. So, I removed the thickness and now I need to close the hole I used 1.5mm plastic for the insert. He's tough. That's what we need. Now you need to make a semblance of this (specifically, for now - side stops for the door): Epoxy for this purpose is a spot on! I made a bunch of angles to make it clearer Yes. I also made a support plate, on which the rear bumper should lie ... and "fangs in the corners - also under the bumper. I tried to make the edges of the bumpers thinner and to shave excess resin - at the same time. We cut the notch for the handle! But now someone will ask: "What about the loops?" And I will answer: "There will be loops, comrades!" Historical background: as many have already noticed - there are "horns" sticking out at the bottom of the rear side. These are the body hinges. I did not fully understand: where is the door hinge and the axis of mutual rotation. Perhaps the axis of rotation is just on the outside of the door or just behind the face wall of the tailboard. At first I thought to make plastic loops.... well, in general, I did. Then I made it out of aluminum tin. I will use both sets: I will glue the tin to the door, with the axis of rotation as close as possible to the outer skin, and I will glue the plastic into the body for imitation - at the end. In the middle of these operations I will bend right angle of wire 0.5 mm. and stick one end into the door, the other end will glue in the floor. That's the plan. Then we'll see what kind of "goat's face" (the Russian version of failure) will come out of this. Thanks for your attention! Who honors my lamentations! 🙂
  12. Incredible work now, Jeff! Following wiht pleasure. I wanted to build a school bus one day. So I learn.
  13. Well done, Denis! Good looking piece of work! I like the doors and dash board! I would tinted the grill a little, as you did with wheels. Waiting for it on other site!
