MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Right you are, Bill! I did some research last night and some dude got a hold of an original kit and built it up! Lots of extra bits and display options! But wait... there's more! He also commissioned a fully-lit, life-size 3D print, and WOW!
  2. Surprise of the century: did not have VINCENT on my bingo card, and now I seriously want him! In the theatre as a child, was terrorized by the Black Hole's ending; found it on VHS in the 90s, then got it on disc in the 00s. Love this film so much, and seeing this little guy put a smile on my face. Also the Widebody is a must-have. Great stuff, Round 2! Thank you!
  3. Wow, this Nomad is SICK! Separate exhaust, engine plug, and suspensions; I have to get at least TWO of these kits now, possibly even THREE. I wanna do one as a drift wagon, one as a gasser, and possibly one bone stock. Thank you Round 2; you guys rock harder than Eddie playing Master of Puppets in Stranger Things!
  4. Michael is right! This is the layup of the century! Make it happen, Round 2!
  5. Truer words have never been spoken, Craig. There are thousands of car model kits out there, and each of our building experiences, preferences, and points of entry seem as unique as stars in the night sky. I've never built this kit, but after seeing the parts layouts, and Tim and John's builds, now I want one, too!
  6. Very stoked to get this kit; I really hope it does gangbusters for Revell. However, Revell no doubt has some stiff competition in this niche, as for awhile now, Aoshima has been making some truly insane Lambos and Liberty Walk variations. These kits come with 28,000 little trees, many molded in different colours, and sometimes parts come spray painted. Would love to see Revell have crazy success with this kit; I'm in for a couple of 'em.
  7. Yes yes yes that is the one, thank you! I never built these later Revell/HOTROD street machines, though I'm guessing they're based on the factory stock 82/83s. Will definitely pick one of these up, thanks!
  8. You're right about the 1/16 Berlinetta, Rob, as well as its sister kit, the Firebird SE. Revell also did 82 and 83 1/25 Camaro kits which I thought were even better than the MPC, AMT, and Monogram kits of the time. I found this pic of the 82, but pretty sure the one I had was an 83, with a white car on the box, gold trim, and it was molded in a beautiful pearl white, IIRC. Can't find a pic right now for some reason, but this kit was amazing to build. Would love to get this one again. Hope this helps, thanks!
  9. I've built HUNDREDS of model cars; some a few times, most only once. And I still want to build hundreds more. There are literally THOUSANDS of model cars out there, from old sealed 1/25 Johan Desotos to new Aoshima 1/32 snap Skylines, and everything in between. And new, semi-new, remastered new, new in 40 years, and old new models continue to hit the market near daily. This is a fantastic time for the hobby; I love Round 2, Atlantis, Revellogram, and all the manufacturers for making our dreams come true, surprising us, exceeding our expectations, and breathing new life into old, lost, forgotten, and ignored subjects. Everything is new: new box art, new decals, new pad-printing, new glass colours, new white styrene, and occasionally new/optional/restored parts. Who would have thought that in 2025 and beyond, we'd see the Fiero again, along with the Beretta, 60 Nomad wagon, 60 and 63 Ford pickups, 72 Holmes wrecker, 65 Backaruda, the Galaxie 46-48 Chevys, 63 Nova wagon, 68 Coronet, 71 Demon, 85 Blazer, and countless other gems. I don't even need or want a house anymore. Just divert the mortgage payments directly to the model companies, gimme a shed to build in, and I will be happy for the rest of my days, building as many of these REISSUES as I can.
  10. Yes yes yes, Michael! I recently finished off my 63 Nova as a "baby" surf shark, and the 60 would certainly make for a stunning surf wagon. Also, Hotwheels made some sort of gasser/puller/smash-up-derby kinda wagon that I'd also like to do! So we're at least 10 Nomads... what other styles can you guys think of? Round 2 really hit it outta the park with this one. The possibilities are endless!
  11. What an amazing haul this month; thank you, Round 2! I want almost everything, including 4 Nomads: factory stock, pro touring, gasser, and drift wagon.
  12. BIG MACK ATTACK: Last year, finished off my Mack R685ST, have a Mack Bulldog Tanker in the stash, and this baby is gonna complete an awesome Mack trilogy! Thank you Round 2 you, are sick awesome, I love you... keep taking my money!
  13. Great stuff, wow wow wow! Thank you Round2! How similar will the 63 LeMans convertible be to the 63 Tempest AWB, other than roof and wheelbase?
  14. FTFY. Been lookin' for one of these bad boys to do THIS to it. Found a 1/24-1/25-ish remote control toy which is not too bad for a start, but its panel lines are way too thick for my liking. Might even scratchbuild one outta sheet styrene. Take like 5 minutes.
  15. Never built the Cyclone, but I do want, and intend to get. What donor kit(s) would be the best for creating something close to this factory gem?
