MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Its decaled. Clear later this week Not likely this one will be done by years end .
  2. Now you got me thinking. I dont have those decals
  3. Nice. I think this kit is one of Revells best ever. I have i think 6 done and in the case. Plus I think I have kits and decals to build another 3 or 4 in the pile.
  4. I normally use a paint from True Value I think it's called safety orange maybe The 1/ 1 color has much more yellow to it than this one. My ultimate goal looks like so
  5. I'll ck. Im not 100% sure if it will stay this color Its a little darker than it should be for early max wedge.
  6. Its decaled i'll post a few pictures later today Not The Ramchargers car either
  7. good guesses but nope. A hint. The body is painted the color it's going to be. The car was restored, and semi actively campaigned up until a few years ago. Steppenwolf
  8. Just for laughs on a Saturday nite Anyone dare a guess Which car I have planned
  9. Thanks gents. They definitely have a face only a mother would love. Its not my favorite body style. But the more I worked on this one. The more I liked it. And it's definitely one of my favorites in the case . Doing that quarter glass and trim was done with the car completely assembled. ( I dont recommended that method btw , tedious is an understatement ) I should have done it while building the car. But sadly, wasn't paying close enough attention to the photos of the actual car I have. All's well that ends well I guess.
  10. Who knows All depends on what i find in the pile i guess. I do have a couple started . Just not sure which ones gonna end up back on the bench 1st This is most likely my last finished one for this year
  11. They say its a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Well, I decided to see just how fine. And made , and glued in some quarter windows to make it a sedan body. Using a spare body I have, took some tape to the inside of the body and drew out the shape and transferred that to some clear acetate sheet. Painted some small sprue pieces in a color pretty close to the body. I do NOT recommend this to anyone I held my breath the entire time . Good thing I used clear Elmers glue JUST in case I screwed it up I felt like I had a chance to correct it. So, with Fingers crossed dove in. NOW its done and up in my case
  12. Another FINALLY out of the box, finished and in the case after far far too many years in storage Painted this one I think at least 10 years ago with Dupli color rattle can lacquer. It crazed the surface just enough I was not happy and put it away. Until a few months ago. What was supposed to be a simple out of the box / curbside build turned into an upgrade with the modern Lindberg chassis swap. The finish is A LONG WAY from perfect . But dang it if it didnt turn into a cool looking car on the shelf Comments or criticisms are very much appreciated and more than welcome. Thanks for looking in
  13. A very small update I had some time today so decided to see what I could do with the engine. Using the max wedge and auto trans from a Lindberg Color Me Gone kit I chromed the valve covers using the fusion chrome paint Pre wired dist from MAD scratch made fuel lines using craft wire and some crimp ferrels painted white to replicate inline fuel filters chrome air cleaners from the parts box, no idea the original source With a little luck I just might have this one done and off the bench by Christmas. Its not 100% accurate to the actual car. But I can live with it
