Nazz Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020   Sorry Dann , for the dumb question, but I wasn't paying attention! I just got home from work and was going to ask you not to bother answering as I reread your post and got the answer myself. Thanks for answering anyway. Looking forward to seeing this one complete.

bisc63 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 In the video, the front end looks much more "pinched " in the frontal view, as if the grille inserts need to be sectioned a bit. Any info on how Barris did this? I seem to recall reading that the grilles were stock, but they look tapered and sectioned to me. Any way, I love watching your builds, and this one is no different for that! Another point; does anyone make correct gold foil decals for the doors? The real ones are much cooler than AMT's "interpretations".  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry , just couldn't let that one slide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ha! Good catch; now I'm embarrassed to lump Barris in with a talent like DJ! Thanks Nazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 According to Wikipedia, Barris bought one of the original two cars that Jeffries built, and restored it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The MMobile(s) originally had a Dean Jeffries Custom crest on the front fenders, which was replicated by MPC on the original issues of the kit. These disappeared from the reissues as some point. When I restored my original a couple years ago, I tried to make some foil copies of those emblems, but wasn't particularly successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that about the grills too, but i'm not sure Kit-wise, the Revell grill, and this MPC grill doesnt match, but they are kits. It was actually Dean Jefferys that built the Monkeemobile. About those reflective decals...i believe there were some that looked like the real ones, but i didnt follow that up, since i like the version without them.
