Mooneyzs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ira... I am loving it. I love those fins you added to it. my first thought was some of those crazy cars over in Japan like that. The fins just go together great on this build. Adds even more life to what you have already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 MIRRORS AND A MOONROOF!!! I added some BiG 1/16th scale Sports Mirrors to the front... Next, I cut a Moonroof from some clear plastic... I traced a circle around the Moonroof on to the roof and cut it out. Now for a little Primer... Rear View...

cobraman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Ira, far be it from me to tell the master of the cartoon builds what to do with their builds but what do you think about a bubble instead of a flat glass for the moon roof ? Just an idea, you know best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 MORE ENGINE DETAILS... I Finished the Engine! The metal screen adds a nice bit of Texture... I applied several small decals for fun! I modified one of the Ferrari Valve Covers and mounted it on the front of the engine. Then I added Metalic String to the spark plugs...
