MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Shipping is the killer for me. Shipping to Canada from the US is minimum $30-40 for a kit. This puts a serious pinch on buying kits. The initial buy-in has to be stupid cheap in order to make a purchase worth while. For me, this makes any currently available kit purchase untenable. In the last five years I have bought maybe five or six kits on ebay, all vintage, all much wanted and searched-for kits, all snagged for unusually low prices. Curiously, all other countries are much cheaper to ship from, with the possible exception of Australia. It is almost always cheaper to order from, say, UK, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, or Japan, etc. than from the dozens on offer on this continent.
  2. Now that's pretty cool. With the dynamics suitably scaled down, I wonder how the model fares compared to the 1:1. Welcome to the forum, Grandpa.
  3. Check with both Keith Marks and Rays Kits. They have decal sheets with emblems for some cars. If I was on my laptop, I'd post links.
  4. Cool style. Nice custom work. Lots of slicing and dicing, and it all looks great.
  5. Oh yeah, that's cool! Very nice work here. Good thing those Ford small blocks are tiny. Really digging this concept. Love it!
  6. Lovely Deuce. That's a real beauty. Very nice work on the detailing, too. Great looking engine.
  7. Any time I have attempted anything like this I ended up with chipped paint.
  8. Good looking split windows. They look great as a pair. Nice work. I just bought an AMT split window this week, going to build a red stocker similar to yours.
  9. Those alcohol wipes look like a neat idea. I have recently picked up a microfibre cloth, the type used for cleaning eye glasses, but haven't tried it yet. After giving it a good cleaning I'm going to try it as a lint-free wipe with alcohol.
  10. Haha Cheers Timmy Sorry for the confusion Jack. I was just being silly.
  11. No, there are several other buffing metalizers, including Magnesium, Titanium, Gunmetal, Dark Anodic Gray, Burnt Metal, and Exhaust. More than half the Metalizer line was buffable.
  12. There are other threads (in the Questions section and in the Tips section) on chrome substitutes where many products are tested/compared, including Green Stuff. Without having done any comparison testing myself, the most promising of them seems to be the Revell product. No one has presented any information on ALSA Corp chrome though, and that's the one I am most keen to know about. I think I will be pulling the trigger on that stuff soon, and have a go.
  13. I had a dehydrator without temp control, and it ran hot too, about 130 F. I just left the lid off altogether. It would then run about 100-105 degrees. It probably works better that way too, as the air would flow more freely. I always keep a thermometer in mine when it's running.
