POLICE JET BALL #25! Seaquest & Robot Kitbash is Finished!


Recommended Posts

POLICE JET BALL #25!

 

I have been wanting to build a Ball Shaped Vehicle for awhile. This one was inspired by the ones in "The Guardian's of the Galaxy " Movie.
I started this project for the Hobby EXPO 2015. The Theme was Heroes & Superheros, so I decided to make a Ball Shaped Jet for the Police Department and I want Rocket Raccoon to drive it.
The "Rocket" and "Groot" Action Figures are from the Guardians of the Galaxy Movie. This is a kitbash using parts from the Monogram SeaQuest-Deep Ocean Transport and 2 Japanese Robots. This should be Fun!

Here is the Ball Body from the SeaQuest Kit.

I started by removing the Light Bar. The I filed and Sanded the bottom of the Ball round.

Robot Power!

I decided to cut the bottom off of the Ball Body and replace it with the bottom from a Pegasus Alpha Centauri UFO Kit.

I am using the Body Sections from 2 Japanese Robots for the Jet Engines for the Police Jet Ball. Here are the parts. These kits came with 2 Robots in each Kit!

Next I glued the Sections together leaving the inside halves unglued.

We Have Jets!

I started grinding away the outside Jet Sections to fit the side of the Ball Body.

After some more Grinding and Fitting I got the Jets to fit pretty good so I glued them in place. Next I cut down the inside halves of the Jets and glued them in place.

Filling the Gaps!

I used "Apoxie Sculpt" on the Police Ball. It is an thick epoxy type filler that fills large gaps without melting the plastic. You can shape & smooth it until it starts drying, so you can smooth out the gaps and holes.

After a little sanding the seems start to blend in.

I cut out the Joysticks & Screen with a razor saw. They will be replaced by a Hologram Instruments & Joysticks on the arm rests.
