MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Very well done. You captured the look. I always have been impressed with most of the Piro models I've built There have been some that were "of the 1960s" manufacturing style. But even those were workable. '
  2. Sorry I missed tis on its debut . But real glad I found it now. Great job of modeling. Now off to the build thread.
  3. Nice!. Good look to the body without the trim. oh, and a great place to hide your spray can. ๐Ÿ˜†
  4. Good job of restricting resurrecting that model. Great colors too.
  5. WOW! great bit of modeling.
  6. Quite a bit of information given here, some of which I never knew about or didn't understand. However, Michelle, I now have you to blame er thank for Lightfoots song running in my head for the rest of the day ๐Ÿ˜
  7. Great looking old timer is its youth. Must have pulled a ton of local vehicles.
  8. Nice to see your progress re: the chrome. Good results useing the hand sanitizer.
  9. Good job on the front window. Seems like your getting results you can use.
  10. A model that has so much glue it looks like the modeler blew up a glue tube on it. Also an older model that was previously owned by someone else and acquired for rehabilation or for parts.
  11. You may well look askance. That is most dishearting. A quick search reminded me of the "reactivate sharpie" steps I have used : " AI Overview; To reactivate a dried-out Sharpie, dip the marker tip into a small amount of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) for a few minutes until you see the ink start to run into the alcohol. Remove the marker, cap it, and let it sit tip-down for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the alcohol to rehydrate the ink and draw it down into the nib. For a more thorough fix, you can carefully disassemble the marker, add a few drops of rubbing alcohol directly to the ink pad, and then reassemble it to help rewet the ink." I realize that alcohol is an issue but perhaps "someone" found nearby could be persuaded do the technique for you? p.s. I understand fresh flowers can be a boon in such situations
  12. Great job of problem solving and "model-modeling". (oh. good grief๐Ÿคช) Good call on the colors.
  13. David Just caught up with your adventurers to date. Well Done on the roof scratch removal. The frustration of the errant Silver sharpe was evedent and made one feel your frustration. Good job for the WD40, that stuff is a miracle in a can. Regardless keep on working through the problems as they pop up and someday you will be done. ๐Ÿ˜‰
  14. Very nicely done. Nothing beats a clean well organized work space and bench. (this said as I keep my bench totaly behind my back-sign๐Ÿ˜)
  15. Gott'a agree very well done. Good photos as well.
