MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Really like the subject matter and build. The pickup camper was a very popular site across the country in the 60's and 70's. Very nice work on the camper, just the right size for a F 250. Color choice and 8 lug 16" wheels and tires look very sharp! Yes, many kits require more work than expected, but the results are worth it.
  2. Very realistic representation of a workhorse after a few decades of use and a few different owners. The 8' flareside bed looks great. big thanks to Fireball for offering this never done before piece.
  3. The grill and hood for a '59 exist in 1/18 diecast offerings. I'm no 3d printer expert, but, how difficult can it be to reduce an actual already done 1/18 piece to 1/25? A big opportunity for 3d people, but, AFAIK, they have been silent on this topic
  4. I like it, very heavy duty, looks like an ex camper hauler with the mirrors. Nice wheel and tire choice, looks like 2 piece rims which were very popular in the era, the rings were always a silverish- gray color.
  5. At the same time, maybe to a 1 1/2 ton- 3 ton front end conversion.
  6. Another rig that came and went too fast, both in scale and 1:1. Every detail is spot on, very realistic looking, excellent wheel and tire choice for a no frills hauler.
  7. The original AMT '60 version converted to a "Biltz Bugy", fire equipment added from the monogram 1/32 scale Mack pumper.
  8. Not up to scratch building, you would think a 3d printer could convert this 1/64 to 1/25 fairly easily? https://www.ebay.com/itm/266702055910?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3D286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D225991652314%26itm%3D266702055910%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster%26brand%3DGreenlight&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A266702055910286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd|enc%3AAQAJAAABECwDxH%2FaslyJlxG5OwCzDVsvFPdCc7oPNES2pO%2FdXErh3FWD0RY5Z4as3zE1mat3WT6Ucv9T827oSX6ueBxJTFw2r9p2wb0deZUMMzPdc3WQ3XwhMEF9hcgM3SytbId%2FKeAwSu%2Fbt4zAQVlC5sBI42M%2BXde2gW0onrjpsko07Y7Bvd1rfYTTkMam4g4ddm7MLfMk5jjLmdDhSMavlGx8dn372r3WVDR5pnNNuF8WrMHgGO6GHUVdSrSrGx4oTSNyHJVdOMe%2FtKNCjwUoVmq26XvX1vzPx1y5cmXVWmKUaz2P500%2Bh7Tk%2FFDwscfqeyDRAQ6GTrS4xtcGI88ALdzTP0%2FwOutjq0KTMnXH7Ha9ekwC|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&epid=8066029999&itmmeta=01HSP08BTDT89CZJE60Z242GYC
  9. Thanks for all the positive comments. Any resin 1/25 scale slide in campers such as this old Lindberg HO? Only larger camper I believe is the Model King Open Road chassis type.
  10. Project looks well on its way to be a sharp combo! Assuming the KW has a regular back window?
  11. NIce job on these! Like the tutone job on the Styleside and the side spare on the Flareside. I agree, the separate cab and bed on the new issues will make conversions much easier.
  12. Very clean looking build, the tire and wheel combo are perfect for a supercab
  13. 1970 F 250 Camper Special with "Custom" trim. Wheels, tires and hubcaps are from the '68 F 250 kit. Upgrades are 3 arm western mirrors and front bumper from the 70's issue AMT star truk kit with additional photo etch emblems. Painted Royal Maroon from Scalefinishes. Would be nice if there was a resin 10' camper available, the rear springs are ready for some weight.
  14. Great job bringing the resin piece to life. LIke the body choice, under hood details, authentic mirrors and wheels, I can almost hear the 345 whining out sound, remember those engines made more noise than the exhaust!
