MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. "I AM Knot A Robot!"... Ai farms use vast amounts of power to operate. We saw what happened to the dot com industry when the power grid was manipulated with blackouts and rolling browns in 1999. Just takes one squirrel getting fried to take it sown again. same with the "Cloud"
  2. A very nice set of decals from "STS scale model decals" from my layouts. Included are a set for a Wenmac Spirit of America, a rocket LSR, my Bugatti LSR, and Barber Warnock and Roar With Gilmore for a couple of early Indy cars. One less Reason to avoid my projects!
  3. One for you train buffs...
  4. And here I thought they were only 'Pruned' for Potvin use. Cool 427.
  5. Thanks for the great info. I expect Marine or aircraft quality epoxy may be more stable than the general craft quality counterpart. I will have to try the microballoon fill technique. I found that the epoxy doesn't seem to 'wet' the glass cloth and allow the fibers to move as freely as with polyester needing more finesse to get it into tight spots.
  6. I see you doing glass work on several of your cars, including the challenger. do you use epoxy rather than polyester resin on the styrene bodies?
  7. Dennis, you didn't mention a gloss coat under the chrome paint or polishing the parts. if not it looks great even so.
  8. Not to mention the CAD development time. "But it's not Brass!" You do amazing works of art however the process. Very much enjoyed the ride, thanks for sharing!
  9. looking for a spray on polished brass like chrome, I'll check out the Alclad. The gloss assures a smooth finish.
  10. Scrounge anything for 30A 220 cable and romex to old telephone, dead computer and craft wiring. I've got a whole shelf dedicated to the stock.
  11. These days you have to buy them when you see them.
  12. Off on a tangent, for us early last century boys, does anyone know of an equivalent for polished Brass?
  13. Being a Calif hot rod boy I'd never heard of the Fiat 508 Aerodynamica however I do like the styling over the classic Topolino which came out the year later in 36. Coming along nicely!
