MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. When I saw this car at World of Wheels in St. Paul back in 83-84 I fell in love with it. It was and will always be my dream rod.
  2. The decals are actually printed in gold. They pop nicely in the photos and in person they are a little more subtle.
  3. The key to the 24 hour build off is having a good plan before starting, picking a reasonably simple kit and time management. I use lacquer paints which dry relatively fast. Within the first 2 hours the body is painted and cleared and then I let it sit for 3 to 4 hours and work on sub assemblies.
  4. This is the Atlantis kit of the Fiat Topollino. This was built for the annual 24-hour Facebook challenge and was completed in the allotted 24 hour time frame. It was painted with PPG lacquer and is a 1975 BMW Jade Green Metallic and the frame is Mopar Sublime Green. The small block Chevy was wired and was from the parts bin. Decals were custom made on my ALPS printer. Various shades of metalizer were used throughout on all of the metal bits. Front tyres are from the kit and rears are from the parts bin. Injectors were Parts by Parks.
  5. This is my rendition of Dan Gurney's 1967 Spa Winner. It is the SMTS kit in 1/43 scale. I used MCW lacquer paint, Gurney metallic. It is a fiddley kit that requires careful attention to the fitment of the suspension components. I created new decals on the ALPS printer and added a mesh screen over fuel injection. Other metal bits were carefully polished using the dremel and a wire wheel. Heat stains on the exhaust were done using Tamiya clear yellow, orange, red and blue.
  6. I managed all of the Jolly's Hobby during a 6 year period and also did a stint at Motorsports Miniatures. I started at Southtown, did a short stint at Apache, went to Southview and ended up at Sunray. It was a struggle as we also carried crafts and the budget was spread thin. It was the dawn of the mail order business and I could see the writing on the wall. Scale Model Supply was always the go to for the cool stuff and it was not in the same location it is now. It was on the other side of the street in a brick 3 story house.
  7. Looking for a set of AMT/MPC 1932 Chevrolet Cabriolet fenders that do not have the spare tire mounts cut out. Used/painted is fine just looking for uncut fenders.
  8. I love it, in fact so much I wacked the top off my 37 today.
  9. Still looking for the doors if anyone has a junk kit.
  10. Looking for a set of the outer doors(left and right) for the MPC Tiger Shark.
  11. I have nearly all of Jorgenson's "kits" and they vary in quality. I have a number of boxes that have hand writing in the box lid that states "will send rest of parts when I get them cast" or "missing windscreen will send later"....and no they never arrived.
  12. I have a few more things to finish, that being one of them. Its the black and yellow plate 013 and I have to paint the tonneau cover snaps and the Ranchero logo.
  13. Thanks for the kind words. The PJ dirt mod took a gold medal at the Hope it don't Snow show last weekend.
  14. It's not an exact replica of PJ's dirt mod but certainly inspired by it. This is the old Lindberg kit with a few parts from the spares bin. Lincoln mill out of AMT 1927 T, rear tyres from the AMT Watson roadster, front tyres are Herb Deeks, decals designed by me and printed on the ALPS. This was built for the 24hr build challenge this past weekend. Did not get it done in 24 but pretty close. The blue modified was also part of the double kit and built for last years 24 hr challenge.(done in 23.5 hrs)
