STILETTO! A Personal Jet SPEEDER...WIP 12-26-12


Recommended Posts

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... B)

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...

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.

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...

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...
