MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Fascinating stuff.Does anyone like the Pontiac Bonneville? I'm trying to get something bigger than a Civic. I like VW's and the Chevy Blazer too.
  2. Oh and this will be my primary vehicle. Just me no kids or wife. Thanks
  3. My budget is about 5k.I also would have to buy some extra wheels and some blizzaks for the snow. What about the older diesel mercedes,aren't they supposed to be bullet proof?
  4. That thing is sparkling! You must be proud of this one,what a great looking build!
  5. The funny thing is this kit was the first model car I ever built,I remember I painted it green(BRG),my second was a jaguar that was painted silver. I think it was around 1976 or so.
  6. This kit is a must build for me,I love the aggressive looks.I love Pontiacs
  7. Real good work!I like the Cobra alot too.Thanks!
  8. Thanks for those great answers. Presently I walk to work(20min) but I'm purchasing a house an hour away from where I work. Can anyone make some suggestions on a car that would be used for a 1hr commute? I live in the north east (ny) Front wheel drive? Or does it matter? The problem is I have to keep gas mileage in mind. Any good books or websites to help a rookie like me understand the fundamentals? Thanks Rich
  9. Just curios,do most people that enjoy building model cars know how 1:1 cars work? I know I dont. Rich
  10. I finished my first model and learned alot.Now I come to the next model and a question. Is it better to rub your paint out using the 3400-12000 grit system and then polish?Or is it better to use a clear coat. What system will give you the smoothest shiniest finish? I have yet to find a complete set of instructions that give every detail like,how long to wait between coats or do you wet sand or dry sand.....stuff like that. Just so you know I use Tamiya paint and I use primer.I shake them well and place them in warm water. This is a pic of my very first model,It came out better than I thought it was. I totally forgot to spray the inside of the roof.
