MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Well, the runway was too icy to fly this morning, so I came back home. Got the exhaust fitted. Stealth update by Logan Abner, on Flickr And I used a bit too much force trying to get the rear wheels on, and broke the rear axle!! Ughhhh. I'm going away for a week starting tomorrow, so I'll deal with that when I get home. Stealth update by Logan Abner, on Flickr
  2. Little bit of an update. I got a lot of the chassis done, just the exhaust left to do, it's drying at the moment. The kit is going together well, other than the engine not quite wanting to fit onto the subframe, but I got it. I broke one of the valve covers right in half, hopefully it isn't too noticeable. And I was hoping for more of an "overspray" look for the chassis, it seems I was a little heavy on the paint. Oh well. And I just found out that I have to be at work at 5:30 tomorrow morning, so that's all the modeling for tonight!

  3. This one is going to be red obviously, can't decide on an all black interior or black and tan. I'm wondering about the front turn signals as well.. Not sure how to accomplish that haha.
  4. Haven't done much building for quite a while, I'm sure y'all know how life gets in the way haha. I pulled this kit out of the cabinet and decided to give it a go. It seems so far like it will be a fairly straight forward build, we shall see! I decided not to do the pace car version, but just go with a standard red one. "Fire Storm" is the name of the color from 1991. For whatever reason, I really enjoy models of common, everyday "malaise" type cars haha. Dodge Stealth by Logan Abner, on Flickr Dodge Stealth by Logan Abner, on Flickr Dodge Stealth by Logan Abner, on Flickr Got the chassis painted today and body primed, as well as the main part of the engine. It's too cold to be painting, but I'm doing it anyway lol.
  5. Very nice work! I love those big ol pillarless coupes. Great cars.
  6. Thanks for the tips gentlemen! I'll make sure to paint the bezels when I get to that point.
  7. Progress is slow! Got the chassis mostly done, ready to fit the engine. I test fit the body, everything is looking good! 3/24/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr 3/24/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr 3/24/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr
  8. Definitely following this!! I love interesting BMWs of this era.
  9. Made a little bit of progress today! Got the chassis painted and somewhat detailed. 3/8/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr Interior parts painted. 3/8/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr And the body primed! 3/8/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr
  10. Beautiful work!! Wow that BMF looks incredible.
  11. Haha really? I'm not very far into it obviously, but I will report back any issues I find with it. Anything specific you've heard, other than the usual final fitment issues?
  12. Blue Ferraris are the best! Nice build, the gold wheels are a nice touch.
  13. No it's a smooth roof. I didn't know they did a textured roof. Was it like a vinyl roof, or stainless like the Eldorado Brougham?
  14. Got the main part of the engine put together today. It ended up being a little humid to paint, got a bit of a crackle finish lol. But i actually think it looks alright! I'm going to let it sit overnight and then give it a final coat tomorrow. 3/6/17 by Logan Abner, on Flickr
  15. Great build! I really have a thing for vintage police cars.
