TIE WINGS! I started with the Tie Wings. First I had to cut this section off both wings. I cut the sections off and then I started to sand the High Spots off flat so I could glue the Wings together. I sanded off enough raised detail so that the Wings fit together nice and tight. Here are the Wings glued together. More Coming...

JEDI TIE WING RACER! I decided to make a Streamlined Space Ship using the Main Body from the X-Wing Fighter and the Wings from the Tie Interceptor. I also got some of the Engine Parts from the B-Wing Fighter. These are Snap Kits but I remove the ends of the Snap-Posts so they don't snap anymore. Now they are Glue It Together Kits.

GREAT PAINT CARL!

Looks Great Ron!

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Jim!

Nice Build!

Thanks for the kind words David! So glad you enjoyed it...

PRIME EVERYTHING! I sprayed on a couple coats of Filler/Primer on most of the rest of the parts. First I sprayed the Chassis with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Next I hand painted the black and then I applied a wash of The Detailer-Black. More Coming...

This Should Be Fun! Great Project...

Thanks Austin! That's a Great Idea...

Thanks Ray! Yeah, this was Great Fun. I got to do some New & Different Techniques...

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Chris! I tried some Dark Shots but they didn't turn out very good. I'll have to call my best friend & Photo Expert Mike Wong at Spring Mountain Gallery & see what he can do...

GET RID of the RIDGES! I cut about 1/8" off the Front Inner Wheels and painted them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Next I sliced off the Ridges from the Deals Wheels Tires. Then I Sanded the Sliced Areas with a Sanding Block. I got the DW Wheels from a Vintage Stink Ray Kit and put a Black Wash on them. Here are the Finished Tires! More Coming...

Thanks John!

Looks Great Matt!

WHERE IS THAT WHEEL? I am missing a rear inner wheel. Lucky I had extra Porsche 911 wheels left over from the "MUD BUG" Build. The 911 Wheels are a Great fit in the big Deals Wheels Tires. I will use plastic tubing to finish the Wheels. I cut a 1/4 inch length of plastic tubing and glued it to the inside of the Wheel. I will be using the Inside of the Wheels on the Outside of the Tires. Here is how the Wheels fit in the Tires. Here are the Wheels glued in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I added a piece of plastic on the inside to stop the axle. More Coming...

Thanks for the kind words Terry! The House was mounted on a large base for added stability. Then the House was reinforced with two kinds of glue and plastic tubing was used to reinforce the major supporting joints and walls. The Saucer is held in place with magnets. If you check early SF vs FS construction steps you will find all of the building info...

WHERE'S THE AXLE? I got no front axle parts with the 57 Glue Bomb, so I added one made with plastic tubing. I used the zzz-28 for Wheel Base measurements. I cut opened a hole with a #11 Blade in an X-Acto Knife. Then I cut some plastic tubing to length and glued it in place. More Coming...

Thanks for the kind words Ray! I am working on CAM-AIR, An 8th scale Landspeeder, a Cylon/Vette,C.Bomb Kitbash, Jedi Tie Wing, and a Colonial Viper Kitbash...

GETTING FRAMED! At first, I had planned on using the ZZZ-28 Frame because I have 3 and it was a pretty good fit. But after a while I figured I could still use the 57's Frame if I shortened it by about 1/2 inch. I used a Razor Saw to make the cuts and I glued it back together with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I used strips of plastic to make the joints stronger. Now it fits pretty good... More Coming...

Thanks Rob! So glad you enjoyed it...
