MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. You must be a real hit at social gatherings...family get togethers...office parties... ( should change your screen name to "sidvicious" ).
  2. I probably wouldve realized the humorous aspect of it...if the agrieved party wasnt my own brother....
  3. A " glitch " ???? That lasts two months ? The seller is being evasive...or just doesnt give a damn. As for " not liking " someone...sure...go ahead and take their money...and then dodge all inquiries. See how that works out for you....see how well you're "liked"... when word gets around.
  4. I picked up 2 or 3 of these little Revell Highway Pioneers kits off eBay when I decided to dabble in 1/32 scale subjects. The wheel/tire pieces looked better than the ones I could source through the generally available Aurora & Pyro kits at that scale. Came in handy on a couple of builds...
  5. R.I.P. Brian....and Thanks for all the great Tunes.
  6. On again off again 1/25 scale Belly Tank project. Thanks go out to fellow MCM modeler Jim Lewis for his 3D Printed parts...I will try to do them justice....
  7. I never owned an original of this extinct kit...I lucked out at a club auction a couple of years ago and bid $20.00 for a disassembled glue bomb in the original box...and after some careful restoration succeeded in saving it. It builds up pretty nice...for a 1966-67 kit.
  8. Thanks Bob. Let us all know if you get that 3D version together...
  9. Thanks Carl. I challenged myself to rescue that old glue bomb from certain death.
  10. I did a restoration of a disassembled glue bomb of a kit I picked up for $20.00 at a club auction...but yours takes this long extinct kit to another level with those wire wheels. Well done.
  11. Nice color ! Is that Tamiya...Mica Blue...or something else ?
  12. I pretty much used Testors clear canopy glue for anchoring clear plastic pieces...and recently discovered a similar glue made by the Evergreen plastics people. I once used plain old Elmers white school glue to set the glass in a 23-window Revell VW van...and its still locked in place...years later.
  13. Exactly...I tried the same thing with an ancient Aurora "Wolf Wagon" kit. ( trophies look out of scale...but the motor dropped right in...)
