  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. 😆
  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 😁
  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 grief🤪) 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. 😉
  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-sign😏)
  15. Gott'a agree very well done. Good photos as well.
  16. 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]🤣
  17. 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?🤣
  18. Nice rendering of a (any 😉) business sedan. Looks the part.
  19. 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 ... 😂)
  21. 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.
  22. HA HA.....you were kidding-weren't you?😏
  23. Sure looks the part. Having the magazine in the background is a treat in and of its self.
  24. 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.
  25. 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]
