Ira Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 WHITE GLUE & SEAMS! I started painting some Red Details to accent the Silver Body Color. Then I started filling some of the Seams and Gaps in the Body with Formula 560 White Glue. I put some White Glue on a tooth pick and carefully lay it into the Seams. Sometimes it takes a couple of coats, but it will fill most Gaps. Later I will paint over the dry White Glue and the Seams will blend right in. More Coming...

Ira Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 SORRY OBI-WAN! I was going to use the Obi-Wan Pilot for the Walker, but I thought he needed a Helmet, so I gave him a Haircut. Here he is with the Helmet Head. He still doesn't look right for the Walker... Found this driver in a 25th scale Formula-1 Car. With a little bit of cutting and bending, I got the new Pilot to fit in the cockpit Perfectly. I painted him with Vallejo White Paint, Great stuff! Here is a better photo of the Helmet Detail.

Ira Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 ARMS! I cut four 1/4 inch lengths of plastic tubing. I cut the inside edge of the tubing to make a "Socket" for each arm. I glued the Arms in place with Zap-A-Gap. Notice how the Robot Arms mimic the Human Arms. I also reset the Pilots feet and legs so that they looked more Natural. The round Air Vents on the sides are old Ford Hubcaps. The Satellite Dish is from the Moon Scope kit and other details came from the Star Wars Pod Racer Kit. Some of the details were painted with Vallejo Brass Paint. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 NUTS! These are "O" scale Nuts from the Railroad Section at the Hobby Shop. You can just slice off the Nuts and glue them where you want to. You can paint the nuts either before or after you glue them in place. Here they are in four different places on the Legs.

Jantrix Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I gotta hand it to you. When you do these crazy vehicles, it doesn't look like a myriad of random parts tossed together, it looks like a designed unit. Like it is from one kit. Amazing work.
