MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. Hello Francois I was at Torcan and saw your model in person. Walked by, and there was always a crowd. Until you are a judge yourself, you may never fully appreciate the challenges of being one. It is good form to respect judges and fellow competitors alike, at all times. Check your ego at the door. Never slag on anyone and do not resent the process. Word gets around fast. You may think you're better than others, but not everyone is impressed by 3D printing, newcomers, entitlement, or sour grapes. Many builders have dedicated their lives to their craft, and 99% of the scratchbuilding they engage in is done by hand, without computers. Being hyper-competitive only gets us so far; treasure the relationships, the experiences, the humility, the fun, and you'll go much further. Hope this helps, thanks.
  11. Nooice dude! So glad you got this one finished off. Your in-progress shots in the 74 Super Charger thread were a tease, and now this is the payoff of the century. We need to get this kit back onto the market more than ever. When Round2 sees this post, I'm sure they'll do just that.
  12. A few years back, I got the early 2000s reissue of the 76 Nova with the orange car on the box. Was pleasantly surprised this "street machine" looking box art car turned out to be a fully-tubbed Pro Stock / Pro Street kit, yet perplexed that it ran on undersized rear street tires that do not fill out the tubbed interior/chassis. It's nice to see Round 2 correct this oversight.
  13. What a phenomenal September; I want the Batmobile, Scirocco, Nova, and prolly everything else, too.
  14. I agree 99%, but I just know one of these days I'm gonna pull the trigger on something stupid expensive just because it's rare, I want it, been chasing it for decades, and I want the glory of the kill!
  15. We all have a huge demand for the FULL KIT
