MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. I'd be going to corporate with that, charge you for bags, bags break and you lose $60 in groceries, they'd be getting an earful.
  2. Those 20 year old appliances would have probably outlasted the new ones!
  3. Damn scammers are everywhere nowadays (even at McD's it seems), gotta always be on your toes.
  4. We bought a matched set of GE appliance 5 years ago, so far the dish washer and stove have been fine but the plastics on the fridge and microwave seem to be breaking down. The bottom shelf of the fridge that holds the crisper drawers broke twice. Replaced it the first time for $80, 2nd time I just created some brackets out of flat metal stock and bolted the broken plastic back together. About a year ago the plastic vent cover behind the microwave door fell apart, still worked without it. Then the display lost a couple segments. Then it blew its internal fuse, replaced that (clips on plastic control panel broke apart while removing the 2 screws holding it on) and it started tripping the breaker. The interwebs said it was likely 1 or more bad door switches. We're trying whirlpool this time around, no more GE for us.
  5. Nice! I'm still waiting on my pre-order to ship.
  6. I have some Tamiya polishing compound coming (course, fine, and finish), I might try that first before I attack it by sanding.
  7. Much thanks, and correct on the white flecks. As was said, worst case is strip and start over as a last resort.
  8. That makes sense. This is the best pic I could get, which makes it look more textured than it actually is. Think I'll wait a couple days for it to fully cure then try a bit of sanding and put another coat of black down.
  9. One of my first models after not building for 30 years is the Supernatural Impala. With it warming up outside I got started on spraying the body. I did the hood today (Tamiya gloss black rattle can), even though the primer looked good and I sanded that with I think 8000 grit I still got a small section that looks dull/scuffed. Should I sand that again and respray or will the clear (gonna use floor polish) make it disappear?
  10. Is there anyone on here that designs and sells resin prints? I'm wanting the quad headlight grill for the Dodge D50 pickup. It used to be available on shapeways but has since disappeared.
  11. Looks awesome! I have a soft spot for Torino's, I had a 72 as a DD back in the early 90's. Would love to model it but alas there are no reasonably priced options.
  12. Gonna put one on my to do list!
  13. A test fit of the weapons box on the Supernatural Impala after getting the trunk base installed to make sure everything fits.
  14. Awesome detail, and that's a serious red
