  1. SUPERCHARGERS! I decided to add More Power to the Engines. I glued 8 bottom pieces of the X-Wing Guns together to make 4 Superchargers. Then I drilled and reamed out one end of each piece, large enough to fit the chrome end of a Gel Pen. Then I cut the ends off. Next I slipped more Pen Ends over the Cut Ends of the Superchargers. Here is the Supercharger mock-up. More Coming...
  2. SQUARE PIPES! I cut a couple pieces of Rectangular Plastic Tubing, straight on one end and the other end cut on a 45 degree angle. I painted them Silver and glued them in place. More Coming...
  3. Thanks Dan! Imagination, it's the Fun part of modeling...
  4. Thanks Tony! Just Finished Cam-Air. New Photos & Details Coming...
  5. FILLING A GAP... I going to fill this gap for the Hinge pieces. No Hinges needed here anymore. I cut a piece of plastic a little bigger that needed and attached it with Zap-A-Gap. Here it is with the plastic piece sanded down smooth. More Coming...
  6. Thanks Brizio! I'll have to build another one of these, that was Great Fun!
  7. Thanks! Yeah, I'm figuring out what other colors & washes to add next...
  8. Thanks Dave!
  9. I do have a Plan, but I change it as I build...
  10. Looks Great Bill! Real Nice Engine Vents...
  11. WASHING... I applied a black wash from The Detailer to the Silver areas of the Racer. I'm starting to make plans to add more color to different panels. This should be Fun! Here is a quick mock-up! Back View... More Coming...
  12. Thanks Dan! My first time for Night Time Photos. I'll have to try it on other projects too...
  13. Thanks Dave! Yeah, the 2 bodies really blended well. So glad you are enjoying this build. It's almost Finished...
  14. MOON ROOF! The roof of the Tie Cockpit has slotted windows in it. I opened up the slots with an X-Acto Knife to let plenty of light in. More Coming...
  15. FIXING THE CRACK! I decided to add window posts on the rear window to cover the crack. I used half round plastic strip for the posts... I used Formula 560 glue to attach the posts to the window. Cracks Gone! The window posts were then covered with Chrome Bare Metal Foil. More Coming...
  16. Great Idea Ray! I ended up making 2 chrome window frames to cover the crack...
  17. TIE COCKPIT! I cut the wing supports off of the Tie Wing Cockpit. The End-Caps for the Wings will be a perfect fit in the cut-out areas on the new cockpit! More Coming...
  18. DETAILS... I painted the inside with Flat Black, including the area inside the grill opening. Broken Glass! I built the Cam-Air from a built-up-glue bomb 57 Chevy. The rear window was broken, but I managed to get it un-glued and cleaned up. I went ahead and installed the cracked rear window. It reminds me of the Cam-Air beginnings. When the interior is in place, it looks like the Rear Speakers are Big enough to crack some glass. Mouse Ears! I won this antenna several years ago in a raffle at my first NNL. I am finally going to use it on the Cam-Air! More Coming...
