MCM Friend (4/6)

  1. I have no affiliation with this business whatsoever, but I recently bought some of these. I don't have precise measurements, but I will say that unless you're building 1/43rd scale kits, they are small enough that they should not be a problem: https://mcvproducts.net/shop-now/ols/categories/neodymium-magnets?sortOption=descend_by_created_at
  2. Looks intriguing... I'll be watching as well.
  3. I have a project that I started many years ago, and the photo etch that was attached using super glue ( can't remember which brand) has since become very brittle and the photo etch pieces are coming apart with very little pressure applied. Speaking of Bob Smith industries, has anyone tried their rubberized CA line of adhesive's? I'm interested in seeing if the rubberized blends would prevent those issues moving forward.
  4. Very, very cool Luke!
  5. That looks fantastic!
  6. Looks good from here.
  7. Very very cool.. Looks ready for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb! Some of those cars are pretty wild looking.
  8. Looking really, really cool...
  9. I was not able to send them any artwork. So I just sent them a link to a photo gallery of the car I'm basing my project on. 99% of the decals on the car are sponsor decals, so I assumed (maybe incorrectly?) that would be easy. Find the company logo, trace it, make it solid black, boom, done. In fact, the only deviation from what I wanted other than what was already on the real car, was changing the '429' to a '520', to rep a 3D printed 'John Kaase' block.
  10. For those that are interested, I called them today and was told that the artwork for my decals is complete, and that all that is left is to size them for printing (my words not theirs) and I should expect to hear back from them within the next couple of days. ( I'm assuming proofs of the art prior to being sent to print?)
  11. Not to derail the thread here, but your "Greenwood Corvette" comment piqued my interest. 🤔 Care to elaborate?
  12. This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this Bill! I was wanting to go a bit further than just adding fender flares. I'm wanting to build something heavily influenced by the SCCA Trans-Am series, with a bit of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb sprinkled in, but restrained, and equipped with modern components. And this is exactly what I was looking for to do that.
  13. Nice work! Ever figure out what caused the paint issue on the original?
  14. I've purchased from Hooligan in the past.. 5 Stars for: Communication Customer satisfaction Shipping As far as quality, being one of my first purchases of 3D printed products, I'm not sure if his quality is lacking, or maybe I was expecting slide-mold injected Tamiya plastic. Your mileage may vary. What I was not happy about was the diameter of the wheels. They looked fantastic in the photos, but in reality *much* to big for my taste. To my dismay, Ive realized to my financial detriment, that the ideal wheel/ tire sizes I'm looking for are are scaled 18 or 19” fronts and 20 or 21" rears. What I believe I bought were the equivalent to 21" in fronts and 23" or 24" rears...
