MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Gott'a agree very well done. Good photos as well.
  2. Very nice. With the "all powerful slant 6" you better belive it would turn heads. [At least that's what I told myself at every stop light driving my 65 Dodge Dart, way back when]🤣
  3. KT EASTMAN Sorry you had to go through that, But you have made a great recovery with the model. "...then was dusted using my lovely fine sand collected from the backs of 1:1 cars that drive on dirt roads. " Hummm wonder if I can claim, I am collecting material for my next diorama-insted of washing my wifes SUV?🤣
  4. Nice rendering of a (any 😉) business sedan. Looks the part.
  5. I am in awe, so much talent, so well executed.

    The Yard

    Outstanding attention to detail(s). The most recent pictures finally convinced me, it really is, a scale model (yes, I belived your first posts explanations, but ... 😂)
  7. Right on point, The Administrators do a incredible job, keeping the herd of cats--er--members heading away from the edge of the cliff. Having been guilty of less than exemplary performance in the not too distant past, I can and do agree with your T H A N K Y O U, to one and all.
  8. HA HA.....you were kidding-weren't you?😏
  9. Sure looks the part. Having the magazine in the background is a treat in and of its self.
  10. Forum Change, Thoughts Having read all the posts above, those on topic and off topic, the confused and concerned, the generally just worried, etc. Then to a message I sent to iamsuperdan, in which, regrettably, I went off “halfcocked” . That message, and the following messaging back and forth caused me to realize that the thinking going into the purposed changes are both well thought out and ultimately, member friendly. “A sincere thank you [ iamsuperdan] for your responses and explanations to my concerns. You have, with good grace and forbearance made a strong case, both clear and understandable,for the changes -yes even to me. I am now looking confidently forward to the future of MCM Forums.” While some of you may disagree, argue against (or for), aspects of the changes as they come to light, there should be no doubt that the forums will become better and more functional for us, the members. Regardless of how the pay /tier plan comes out, I think from those responses given to my rant’s/statements/whatevers, there will be, after the dust settles, an MCM Forum for all that want to participate, regardless of any tier.
  11. My only experance with those bus lines from the U.K., was the TV shows I see in the U.S. I always took it for granted that there was some determining factor for the colors. So thanks for the clarification. Now if only I remember the codes, I'll know just which city I seeing in the show [remember the colors, HA! with my memory? fat chance-sigh]
  12. Good to see one of the "real Stock cars" again. Great model build.
  13. Very nice work to date. I always thought this was one of the best showing Coddington's skills
  14. Your polishing progress is inspireing and nothing short of amazing. Also a drat-double-drat on the trunk-er- boot lid dimples. p.s. 😉As a side note I once had, sadly lost in the Great Fire of Kindergarden, a recipe, for filling small depressions caused by dragon's teeth on knights armor. However, on reflection, I don't think it would have been usefull for your application as it includes Eye of newt, ox blood and spyder webs gathered on the full moon of the second lunar anomaly, plus smoke from burnt frog hair. 🤣
  15. Sadly many models, (kits, diecasts, built) are much harder to find at Goodwill or any thrift type store now days. I used to, 3-4 years ago, see models cars, trucks, planes ships and occasionally figures on a frequent basis like 2 times a month. Now days it is a rare thing to see anything, maybe 1 time in 3-4 months. Even the Hot Wheels types regardless of condition, are more scarce. Of course I may not be "at the right place at the right time" but as we go to various thrift stores 4-5 times a week I don't think that is always the case. So I tend to agree that many stores now seem to be useing the internet as their sales tool and cutting back use of the store shelves. A result of our new digital age I suppose--sigh, I so old😢
