MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Progressing on my chassis as well
  2. Started working on my wheels and tires from Fireball Modelworks
  3. Dug this one out of the stash. This is T/A or R/T kit based on the diecast. I painted a few years ago with ScaleFinishes Plum Crazy enamel. I've left it sit for a while to dry good. Had some orange peel. So I grabbed a piece of 1000 and some water, then used some Mothers Pure Carnuba Pasta wax and rubbed it back up. Think it looks pretty slick. Wish the kit had the white longitudinal stripe for the sides. I grabbed a setof Mopar steelies and pias by tired for Fireball Modelworks. Never used them before. Any tips on the tires prior to applying the white letter decals?
  4. My just completed 1958 Plymouth Belvedere "Christine". Always liked the Stephan King movie "Christine". Finally got my version built of the star car. AMT model, Tamiya Paints. Box stock so it's not very accurate but it passes close enough for me. I don't think it's quite Red enough though.
  5. I've got 2 of his cars completed. Both 1965 Plymouths. I need more time to work on models but work and life always gets in the way.
  6. Cragers are from the AMT Baldwin Motion Camaro and the slicks are from the Revell Hemi Dart I believe (not sure though now).
  7. No I haven't finished it yet. I plan to one day but just to many things running through my head that I want to build.
  8. Looks amazing. I just picked this up. Was thinking about glueing the body together but wasn't sure about the interior and getting that in. How hard was that to get everything inside after the body was glueing together and painted?
  9. Another Landy if the tooling still exist could be the old MPC Challenger ProStock that was out decades ago. They brought back the Grumpys Toy Vega, why not the Landy Challenger?
  10. Appears the 66 Daytona car has white pin stripes on it. These are some screenshot from some footage of the 66 Daytona 500 I found on YouTube
  11. Thanks everyone for the pics. I had some of these but some I did not. Still looking for that elusive under hood shot to see whether this carhad inner fenders or not. I have one 3/4 shot during construction showing what appears to be just the upper inner fender is there but the lower is cut away. Anyway, working on roughing in my interior floor. I'm doing this one like my Bobby Allison Daytona Charger. I filled in the grooves on top of the chassis pan from the frame rails. I then glued the interior pan in place to have the transmission tunnel and rear package tray in place. Smoothing out the interior door panels and will glue them in place so the my dash is located properly. I cut out the rear seat, the interior floor so that I have the upper side of the chassis exposed to appear as if it's the top of the floor pans. I left the door sills in place so I can glue the door panels in place.
  12. I remember your build. I've been waiting to build this because of the taillights.
  13. I found a 3d printed 1966 Plymouth conversion set on Ebay to use with Revell's 1967 Plymouth GTX. I'm trying to gather more pictures to finally build Richard Petty's 1966 Daytona 500 winner. Gonna be a slow build. Would anyone have some pictures to share of the interior or under hood of the 66 car?
  14. Both look great. I really like the Moebius Mopar kits.
  15. Finally got one of the Moebius 1965 Plymouth AWB completed. I wanted a companion to my 1965 Butch Leal Super Stock so I decided to the Golden Commandos kit as Leal's AWB. I ordered up the Slixx Decals sheet for this car, Scale Finishes Calypso Coral paint. Primed and airburshed the Calypso Coral, all the white is from the Slixx Decals. Not real 100% happy with the way the decals went but that could just be me. Anyway great kit as usual from Moebius. Can not wait to build my other AWB Mopars. Added a shot of my Super Stock for comparison.
