MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Thanks guys,,enjoy your stuff as well,,I did the badman years ago and it was fun,,but this is a bit cooler graphics,,and has 2 choices for rims and tire decals which is a plus. I also added some decals that didnt come in the kit. Looks pretty good on the shelf. Thanks for lookin and comments,,gotta get back to watching "Counting Cars" they build some amazing 1:1 cars and bikes. Next from the bench: AMT 1/16th 55 Bel-Air convertible ,,build on!
  2. Happy Spring all,,just cleared the bench of this one. The Monogram 1/25th 55 Chevy gasser,,which is the same as the "Bad Man" yellow 55 Chevy gasser kit ,,just with different decals. I kindof like this one better with the Patriot theme to the decals. I did add some x-tra stuff from my leftover parts bx,,the corvette bumpers on the front,,the drag chute,,different seats,,and some stuff in the engine bay,, a tach for the dashboard. Its such a cool kit to build,,Ive always enjoyed the early Monogram stuff. So,,on to my AMT 1/16th 55 Chevy convertable,,,,,,in jade green metallic. Thanks for looking,,,Build on!
  3. Yea,,it comes on here on MeTV sunday mornings @ 6am,,,always a blast to see it
  4. forgot about this one,,,,
  5. Hi all,,I was watching the thunderbirds TV show,,,circa late 60's or so,,and I was amazed at all the model set work,,and vehicles ,,cars,,trucks,,landscapes in that show. The characters in the show are all puppets,,which is alot of work in its self,,but the space ships,,cars,,trucks ,,landscapes ARE AMAZING. There was no computer generated graphics in those days,,everything was hand built,,if you have a chance ,,check out that show,,its wild.
  6. Happy Spring all,,its warming up here in motor City,,getting ready for the Autorama at cobo hall,,one of the best car shows in the nation,,along with the Woodward cruise in August. I just finished the MPC 67 ' GTO,,it turned out ok,,,warning about the front grill set. It dosent fit right. lol. not sure if its just the production lot I got my kit from Hobby lobby or what,,but man ,,had to file ..sand ect to get it this close. And as always I chopped,,cut,,modified quite a bit of it. I put some real tires on the back,,added some headrest to the seats,,added some side dump header pipes,,opened up the rear wheel wells to fit back tires,,installed a 409 mtr from the x-tras bx,,and 671 blower. Installed a replacement rear end from the x-tras bx. Rattle can sprayed red from the hardware store paint. hand painted everything else. Overall its a cool kit,,but it will test your fabrication+ modification skills. maybe if I had just left it stock it would have been easy,,but I hardly ever do that often. Build on!
  7. Why thanks sir,,it looks cool on the shelf,,build on!
  8. Cool stuff,,thats a great show to get ideas from,,great job on your PT
  9. Great Bike,,love the bike kits. {Sidenote: If you dont want to do JDuty,,when they ask initial questions for you about your background or relatives ect,,just mention you know/known/hung out with ,, someone in law enforcement,, somewhere and they will excuse you from duty under "questionable conflict of interest" as to you being completely impartial . It worked for me years ago.} And I do have a relative who is a LT Detective on the Detroit police dept. And when they heard that,, I was one of the first to be excused from JD. And Ive never been called back,,and that was over 20 yrs ago.
  10. Thanks so much folks,,enjoy all your works as well,,so much great stuff to see here. I was going to build it as the factory issued white color,,but I rarely do "factory issued" versions. Not that there not any good or whatever,,I just take what the factory started with,,and take it to a different level/style. But hey thats what its all about I guess,,the freedom of building the model the way you want. So thanks for the comments,,and next up on the bench:: "THE LITTLE RED GOAT" w/a 671 blower on a 409 mtr! lol,,,,,build on!
  11. Thanks for the views,,build on
  12. Just finished the AMT 66 Fairlane,,nice kit. Changed rims + tires. Sprayed w/testors qukdry teal green. Moss green spray from hardware store and some basic wiring.
