MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. some people say "i'll meet you at 10:00 o'clock on Wednesday." others "i'll see you towards the middle of the week."
  2. but his spirit lives on!
  3. sure. always in for the "supersize-me"
  4. i'm just waiting for the other one to show up. good tip; never can have enough third hands when the going gets rough.
  5. yeah; whatta buncha degenerates. i'm savin' up for sturges next year.
  6. check out MiniArt most is 1:35, but i think there are some 1:24 scale stuff. if you just want decals, check in with a military model forum and maybe someone can hook you up. Britmodeler of Kitmaker Network come to mind. military aftermarket is absolutely pocket-draining = beware!
  7. you've made it look effortless* *not the actual work, rather the design. it's so hard to make something look simple; so easy to just add another layer or molding. this one is pared to perfection. also; really appreciate the stress stop holes in the rear quarter windows' kerf bends.
  8. nice. looks like a 9'3" noserider would tuck right in.
  9. the foam board i've used has a paper face. the decal will probably stick, but not slide into the position you might want. i would use the decal still on the backing paper, a small, evenly brushed bit of PVA glue, a piece of foil or waxed paper over it, and a weight so it will dry flat.
  10. valve stems & center cap detailed {perhaps non-distinguishable roundel?] can't tell if it's flash around the spokes or camera tricks. it the former, clean it off (cardinal rule #3) and give the viewer something to see through the apertures. and as long as we're camera bashing, are the wheels actually white* or a tint? if the former, pick another color. the latter? repaint after the flash is gone. *pure white & black seldom appear in the real world.
  11. sweet wheels'n'tires
  12. thanks to ed fluck for referencing this
  13. try your state's Attorneys General Office of Consumer Affairs (file a written complaint) and then cc the Banking Commissioner (may be a different name, but go high) with same. local yokels are not going to do any more than the minimal AND they hate their names being kicked upstairs. fastest way to get their attention is "i would like your business card please" you can almost hear the flutter-valve slam shut; it works.
  14. i don't think i have ever seen front-facing-fins
