Kit Basher Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ira, could you elaborate on how you applied the Rub N Buff to the knobs? It looks great. Keep up the good work, your builds are always fascinating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ira, could you elaborate on how you applied the Rub N Buff to the knobs? It looks great. Keep up the good work, your builds are always fascinating! Thanks Hugh! I put a little Rub & Buff on my finger and rubbed it on the buttons. It's a paste, you apply a thin layer and you can polish it with a rag or Q-Tip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 FULL COLOR BUTTONS!!! I used different colored markers to add color over the Rub & Buffed Buttons... The Pilot is Coming Soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 ED'S NEW RIDE... The Pilot from the Stinger Kit had an Uniform and Hat. I ground off the hat with the Dremel Tool. I also removed the High Collar and Zipper down the from of the Jacket. I thought it would be Fun to set up Ed Roth as the Pilot. So I added Putty for Hair, Beard and to cover up the Jacket. After sanding the Putty smooth, I sprayed some Grey Primer/Filler on the Figure... After a little more putty and sanding and I sprayed a Basecoat of Flat White on the Figure... Looks like Ed is ready for some Painting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 ADDING A LITTLE COLOR... I started by painting Ed's T Shirt with White Acylic Paint. Then I painted his Jeans with 2 shades of blue. I painted the flesh color next. Then I painted the hair Black. I used pointed Tooth Picks to paint Ed's Beard, Mustash and Eye Brows... I added a Rat Fink Decal to Ed's T Shirt. Then I sprayed the body and arms with Testors Dull Coat. Quick Test Fit ! I think he likes it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 ENGINES!!! I'm working on the Engines Now. I applied Bare Metal Foil to some of the parts and used Brass, Flat Black, Flat Aluminum and Chrome Silver paint on the others. The Tail Lights are from a '37 Cord. I applied some Black "The Detailer" Wash on parts of the Engines... Here is the Front View. The Headlights are from the old AMT Parts Pack...

Ira Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 FLAMES!!! Got Ed in the Cockpit and glued his arms in place. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue to fill the Shoulder Gaps... After searching for a while, I found that the Revell '68 Corvette Flame Decals were perfect for the Stiletto! Here are the Flame Decals in place... ALMOST FINISHED!!!
