MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. That is amazing. Beautiful detail and great photography. The fabric you used for the carpet looks exactly like German square weave!
  2. Pippa would like to speak to your manager...
  3. Sweet. Have to pick one up to restomod since I built one stock way back when.
  4. Tamiya TS-17 Gloss Aluminum is good stuff. Fine metallic flakes and doesn't mind clear coat.
  5. Day off today, so grocery store and other errands this morning. It's 78 degrees out so I put the top down on the Miata and gave her a bit of a workout. Right now I'm watching Grantchester while the cat takes a nap and laundry is in progress.
  6. The GSW looks great. Vallejo's Metal Color Chrome is loads better than the Model Air, but still does a better job of representing polished aluminum than actual chrome.
  7. Some good stuff coming out this year. The 1/12 Stratos that was supposed to be released in 2023, the welcome "fenders and lights" version of the 1/12 scale Bugatti 35b, a rerelease of the old Protar-based 1/24 Alfa Giulia Spyder, and modified rereleases of the 1/12 Fiat 500 and 1/24 Bugatti Royale. Link below... https://www.italeri.com/en/article/830
  8. Brie can't decide whether she's a tortie, a calico or a tabby!
  9. I think the Monogram 1/24 1965 kit had a release in red that included the Vector Wheels. Here's a shot of the chrome tree from the original "street machine" issue showing the valve covers and air cleaner...
  10. I used the old "hole drilled in a block of wood" technique when I was using Plastruct. I've since moved on to Tamiya Extra-Thin, which has a great bottle design.
  11. Bandit prefers nature programs...
  12. I hear that if you thin Behr Premium Plus with kerosene and cat pee you get a really amazing finish, but only if you set the airbrush at 120psi.
  13. As much as I like "yearbook season", it means that builds like this get "buried". I'm glad I (finally) noticed this. What a fantastic build!
  14. Karmann Ghia, VW Beetle, Fiat 500/695, Citroen 2CV, Jaguar Mk2 all come to mind immediately as Tamiya kits that would look really good with proper weathering. As would all of the rally cars, of course. The Alpine A110 would look great a little beaten up as well. Tamiya has a big back catalog. If I have any complaint it's that they underutilize it and don't rerelease their greatest hits enough.
