MCM Ohana (6/6)

    I'd like to know why Stormtrooper armour does nothing to protect against a single blaster shot. What's the point of the armour if it doesn't protect the wearer? Other than looking awesome.

    As far as I can tell, Walmart in Canada doesn't stock kits at all. Having said that, about 15 years ago, I happened to be in our local Wal and and end rack had a bunch of Polar Lights Nascar kits. The old cars, circa early 70s. They were only $10 CDN each, so I grabbed 4 of them. A couple of Richard Petty cars, a Buddy Baker Charger, one other one. Cale Yarborough maybe? Ended up trading them away here to someone...for something. Haven't seen a kit in any Walmart since.

    This looks fantastic. The weathering is bang on, although...with being that weathered, there should probably be a few dings and dents too. Still, awesome work.

    I love it!

    Excellent work. I like that when you weathered it, you also dented it. Have seen a lot of builds where people weather and rust, but on a perfectly smooth body. Although it's not normally my thing, I built one of these too. And one thing I've noticed is that everyone that posts it here has done something different. Work trucks, show trucks, colours, wheels...everyone is different. I don't think I've seen any "twins" made from this kit yet. And that's excellent.

    Really like the colour choices! Nice work!

    Personally, I'd strip it and save it. I have a few of the models I built in the late 80s, and turning them into something nice while retaining the original parts has been a good feeling. And who cares if it's easier and faster to just buy a new one? Same could be said for all the guys who restore real cars. Why bother fixing that rusty thing? Just buy a new one! It's easier!

    HBC just went into bankruptcy and liquidation! All stores closed. End of an era.

    Hey Les, If I ever visit your place, and then afterwards some of your VW and Porsche kits appear to have gone missing, I had nothing to do with it. 😛

    I would look into selling on Bring A Trailer. That site is geared towards cars like yours. And you can dictate the terms of the sale. ie, you can specify that the buyer is responsible for picking up the car. Just do an inspection, fully detail it, and take a couple of hundred pics of every aspect of the car. Like this: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-ford-thunderbird-12/

    I went out to the garage. Did some organizing. I can actually see the top of my work bench now, and have some space to actually maybe work on a kit or two. It's been a couple of months since I've touched any plastic.

    I have yet to find a vehicle that doesn't look better with a set of classic split rim BBS wheels. Be it the RS, the LM, or any of the others. A classic BBS mesh just works on everything.

    Maybe this will help. Have been following this guys on YouTube. He built a Lotus Esprit, and made working pop up headlights. This is the build summary, but in the previous 20 or 30 videos, he documents the build, including how he made the headlights work.

    I don't get irked very often, but here's one. When someone mentions that they have an issue. I then respond, telling them that I can solve their problem, they just need to send me a message with some info, then I can fix their issue in about 2 minutes. Instead, they continue to complain that they aren't getting any help and that they've tried everything. Except reading apparently. So fine then. Enjoy your issue, helping is no longer a priority or interest for me.

    Yes, like Peter suggested above, try logging in with your original email address used when you first registered here. Failing that, send me a PM with your original username. Let me see if I can get this sorted for you.
