bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ira have to say wasn't too sure about this one. However as you continue to add and modify things I'm beginning to like the design. Any ideas for color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Cylon Stylin'... This part normally fits on the front of the Cylon Raider.

Ira Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's Flying! I replaced the stock set up for the mount and glued in a piece of tubing just large enough fit a 1/4" Clear Plastic Rod. Here is the inside shot. Later, I glued a piece of plastic to cover the end of the tube. Now Raider Vette can be mounted up on the clear rod, flying above the base. More Coming...
