MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. I built the Tamiya 1/20 scale kit and they can be had at Modelroundup.com as I write this. It's a fantastic kit with pre lettered (in gold) Good years and a typical parts count for Tamiya 1/20 Formula 1 kits. It assembles as you would expect, and is the reason for their racing white spray I do believe Two driver liveries and it looks fantastic when finished. My brother Scott has had it in his office for these last 20 years.
  2. Well welcome back to our crazy hobby. That looks super so it appears your skills are still intact. Can't wait to see your 4th and 5th builds. All indications are they will be rocking.
  3. Superb work on this. So much to look at, and it's all great.
  4. That is certainly the way to do it. I am looking forward to whatever happens. Paid would be welcome. How about a discount for us old-timers?
  5. Does this mean you might implement selling on the forum? Gregg never allowed it because it conflicted with his website for selling models. That is loooong defunct and we have a great community here. That and eBay is just a nightmare of fees and villains. It would be a welcome addition from my POV.
  6. I worked on quite a few of those back in the day. Leaks were the issue, aside from such a small cfm. Upping the cfm and upgrading the ignition made them far better. We got a few to melt so.e tires here and there. CFI is inherently a poor design. I'll not get into runner length and all that, but suffice it to say GM was looking at MPG and staring CARB in the face while also trying to make young buyers happy is a trick that simply was impossible at the time. Or so it seemed.
  7. Superb looking Funny! The reissue came out this week. And I bought one! This build will provide Lots of inspiration brother. They say life is nothing but timing. You timed it perfectly. Well done Sir!
  8. Stunning Vette, first one I have ever seen as a Modified. Salvinos chassis? It looks familiar.
  9. How do I get one? And it's spectacular of course. The reason for my inquiry.
  10. Hall, that is one of the craziest pics ever seen on this site bro So much can't take it with you I've ever seen
  11. AI used for nefarious means is in its infancy. It will get worse long before it gets better. I believe very little, so for me it's simply not an issue. For others? Be on your guard and assume it's a scam before you believe anything. Dig deeper if you want absolute confirmation. Caveat Emptor applies here as well.
  12. Sorry to hear Carl. As we age we get just a little more fragile. I am starting to feel the effects of skateboarding. At 60 I considered an "elderly" skater. Problem is, I only know one way to skate. Full On. And that isn't conducive to NOT falling at some point. As for a modelling crossroad though?
  13. Now THAT is what I'm talking about! I had those as a youngster and I loved em. I had all 4 or my shelf. If they have these I'll wager they have the 1/32 gassers! Very exciting.
  14. I was good friends with mechanic on Tasca cars John Healey. He worked as a driver at NAPA Seekonk Ma. We talked racing for hour after hour. He is in the New England Drag Racing HOF. Prudhomme was the keynote speaker at his inauguration. John was well loved and was a super dude..much missed John Healey R.I.P.
