MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Those seats look like the perfect amount of gloss to simulate vinyl. Whose semi-gloss black is that?
  2. Hey Dom, congrats on the tribute car! And great idea on that ride height jig. I hear you're the LIARS Grand Poobah these days?
  3. If the rest of the paint wasn't affected similarly, I've got three words for you - retroactive vinyl top.
  4. That top looks really good. Captures the "skin over frame" look very realistically.
  5. Very, very cool. I really like the way the rainbow colors on the dragster match the colors on the hauler when it's loaded up.
  6. Holy carp this is exciting news! I haven't picked up a new release in years but have always kept an eye open for a new tool of a 70 Cougar Eliminator, 71-73 Cougar, 71-73 Mustang, and 68/69 or 70/71 Cyclone Spoiler. Prayers answered!
  7. Stunning model. That engine really looks like the real thing. Well done.
  8. What's the method you use to shape the new windows? Do you used a vacuform machine to pull the glass over the mold, or just heat it with a hot air gun and pull down by hand?
  9. Unless Revell has fixed the mold, which I doubt, you'll find that the passenger side quarter panel extension doesn't come to the same pronounced (and correct) point right above the end of the bumper as the driver's side does, and could use a little extra plastic and reshaping.
  10. That's a really nice satin black, what did you use for that?
  11. I wish Revell would fix the mold for the body. If you look at the rear "cap" just behind the quarter panel and above the rear bumper, the driver's side comes to a nice sharp point, while the passenger side looks like it was dropped and dented. The mold has been like this as far back as I can remember, back when there was only the Boss 429 kit in the 1980's.
  12. It's the Fast times at Ridgemont High Camaro! Well, except for the t-tops.
  13. Been following your "on the workbench" posts, great job. What's your source for the air cleaner / filter / rubber seal?
  14. This is really beautiful. What method did you use on all the panel lines to make it look like the doors, trunk, etc. are openable?
  15. I did the same thing! I think I snagged about a dozen of those Pro Shop 57's.
