Another cool John Tersei project. Will be a treat to watch ching this come together. I'm surprised there are no in progress photos yet. Are you slowing down John??

Cool project.

I believe the PMs are moderated to keep the bots from generating the bogus want to buy scams. The bots would sign up and scan the want ads and PM and members. The moderation for regular posts is to reduce spam. You can thank the spammers and scammers for having to do the moderation.

Another stunning update. However that is a misnomer as this is an chapter in the tutorial to building amazing models. It's a joy to watch each part come together.

So here is an interesting idea and a change of pace. Great idea as a slump buster. Basic concept. The concept taken to next level.

This gave a good laugh on so many levels. https://www.deseret.com/2023/12/6/23979682/power-outages-how-to-pass-the-time-without-electricity

I firmly believe that is the attitude to take. Rolling with the punches and seeing the humor in things also means less stress which can cause health issues. It also helps to realize that things could have been a lot worse. You were fortunate you were wearing glasses, otherwise you would have gotten paint in your eyes.

Impressive. Super clean work. Great look.

First off if you do build box stock then you need to check the rules for that contest. Second I agree about building what you want and not for a specific class. However I think that box stock is a class to be considered regardless of that. It is based purely on how well you build the kit. You still have the choice of subject matter. its also away to work on honing your basic skills.

One thing to watch out for in the paint is the Pactra plastic bottles. In an effort to cut costs pastrami decided to use plastic bottles. The problem is the paint would go bad even when they had been never opened before. I suspect it was the plastic was porous. The bottles were changed back to glass.

Gotta agree that the engine needs to be moved back. And that will definitely bring the driveshaft closer. Parts box builds are always clue but they are demanding as they need lots of mockups to get everything to work.

As commented in the video the smell is not indicative of the hazardous fumes. One big problem is developing an allergic sensitivity. As far as the documentation of the effects would be related to the material data sheets. All I can say is be safe guys. Make sure you are protecting your health.

As far as the drive shaft how does the engine placement look with the body on it. I think that will determine what you need to modify.

Yup the black plastic fooled me. I didn't realize they did them in black plastic. I will go sit in the corner with my dunce cap on for ten minutes now.

Very nice work. Shaping up nicely. Really like the step by step photos.

Shaping up nicely. By the way the chassis is from the AMT25 T not the Monogram.

Faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive was in the opening for the Superman TV series.

This is an interesting youtube video about the fumes and their safety issues. Brings up some interesting points.

So I'm curious how the issue of venting for the 3d resin printers has been addressed by those who are using them.

Got my issue yesterday here at Oroville CA. Looked at it yesterday will be doing a deeper read today. Another great issue.

I have to agree. All the kit parts are worn out not just the body. It would require all new tooling(cloned). With other kits available that is a tough sell for minimum return. Those resources should be spent on a project that will give a better return. There are lots better options for Round2 to do. Better suited projects will help finance more desired projects down the road. Added thought. There are 2 good examples that come to mind. The new Demon kit and the Coronet kit. Let's say that Round2 has those 2 kits in mind and a clone of the country Charger. The Demon and Coronet had no current kits available. If Round2 had the budget for doing 2 of the 3 the Demon and Coronet are much better choices.

Models to the left of me and rattle cans to the right ; I'm stuck in the middle with glue.

Side note. On my iphone in the Safari app under search engine there are 5 search.engine options Google, yahoo, Bing, duckduckgo, and ecosia. Hopefully this helps. I only view MCM with my phone and don't login in because it's easier to use the tablet for that.

Definitely not a good sign. They have done a good job with the magazines. They are one of a few automotive magazines that are worthwhile reading.
