MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. It's weird, I've heard a lot of good things about this stuff, but a basic Google search will bring up tons of replies regarding how poorly it shoots (even with a .5 needle), occasional "rubbery" finish, and the difficulty of cleaning your airbrush after use (common amongst acrylics I'm told). I want to like it because they offer it in +/- 10 "colors", including "metal". Thanks for your response.
  2. No offense to anyone who uses them but spare me any references to rattle can primers. I'm only interested in primers designed to be airbrushed. Along with your listing, tell me briefly why you like it best.
  3. Love this shade of red. Can you tell me exactly what it is? (Ex: Model Master #1619).
  4. I found you some at a better price https://tinyurl.com/2nkadwm9
  5. For most of you, yes. Me and SpeedAndViolence would like to find out, but his situation is even worse than mine and doesn’t look like it’s going to be resolved anytime soon. If you don’t want my business just tell me and I’ll move on.
  6. Thanks, guys! Do I want a half-round or…?
  7. I'm not on Facebook and would prefer not to join up.
  8. Wanting to add a vinyl roof to a '67 442, but don't know which strip would most correctly match the GM trim best. Would like the actual p/n as part of your reply.
  9. I followed his original instructions asking for an email address, then never heard anything again. I still have all the attempts at getting this process started in Outlook. Assuming he ever gets back to me, does he accept regular credit cars for payment? I got rid of Paypal years ago.
  10. My latest: Had two separate eBay orders arrive at a central hub at the far end of the state. Both showed making it to the next two checkpoints simultaneously before arriving at my local post office. Both went out early in the next morning, but only one was delivered at the regular time. Several hours later, a USPS Jeep was out making other deliveries in our neighborhood, so technically they made it the same day, but given the size of this town I still don't understand how that happens.
  11. Three votes for STS. Interesting. Wonder what I did wrong. Using the board's advice, I contacted them months ago about replicating the decals from an original AMT Mach Won funny car kit. I discovered that one of our members had the complete decal sheet, so I asked him to send me a picture of it along with a ruler on the side and bottom to provide measurements. Once received, I sent it to Terry and asked if they could do it. He said they could and gave me the costs per sheet and shipping charges. He said we could proceed if I replied with an email address, which I did, as well as brief instructions to start as soon as possible. Since then, nothing. Several emails sent, none answered. I may just go with the Dutch guy.
  12. Dug my old toolbox out of storage to see what was still in it after many shared projects and a couple moves over the years and was pleased to see that all the essentials were still there, as well as this no-name 1/2" drive socket wrench. Couldn't help but notice that there was a socket still on it, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to take it off. Most wrenches like this have a release button on the back, but this just has the selector lever, which doesn't push in. Apparently I couldn't figure out how to remove it last time I used it either. Note to self: buy a better quality wrench.
  13. Another mini gem! Question: how did you do the wire mesh wheel centers?
  14. My job requires me to be on my feet the majority of the day, and I've heard this brand (specifically the Bondi 9) is ideal for that. I'm soliciting opinions because they're expensive ($150-$180) and a chiropractor I'd dealt with a few years back said something to the effect that they make people walk incorrectly. Fortunately, they do offer them in a few colors that don't look like a petroleum spill in water, so I'm set there.
  15. I've tried to answer this in depth two times and both attempts (100% text) got kicked completely off the board. Someone from the other board did supply a comprehensive answer, so I'll take that and run.
