  12. Just a Few More Details... I had to touch-up the grass in some spots. Before I added more grass I painted the Green Paint up on the House a little and over the concrete a little. Then I sprinkled on more grass. This looked more realistic than my original straight lines. I made Skid Marks for the Sheriffs Ferrari with a regular #2 Pencil. I bought a Bag of Trees at the Hobby Shop and glued one in the hole. Here is the Ferrrari and the Front Tree in place. I made this tree by cutting off the top half of a tree like the one in back.

  14. SPECIAL F.X.! I found these Key Chain Lights at the Dollar Store. They Change Colors and Strobe at 2 different speeds. It is small enough to fit in many model as is, but I changed mine a little bit... When I opened up the Light, one of these was in it. Each Unit includes Batteries, Color Changing/Strobing Light and an On-Off Button. I made 2 Hooks from wire and taped the Hooks on 2 Units as shown. Here are 2 of the Lights hanging inside the House. Notice the Lights even go through the front windows and light up the Crystals Balls on the stairs. Two Lights at the same time create a lot of Excitement in the House! More Coming...
  15. OFF & ON! Here is the Saucer on the Beam without the Light. Lights On! More Coming...
  16. THE LIGHT! I mounted the Switch on the side of the Base and taped the Battery Pack inside the Base. I used Black Masking Tape the attach the Light to the Laser Tube. I wanted a little Color in the Laser Beam, so I glued a Transparent Green piece of plastic and a Clear Rhinestone on the lens. Then I painted Tamiya Clear Amber over the Lens area. Here it is Turned On! More Coming...
  17. BEEFING UP THE HOUSE! I glued in the left side of the Roof and added a length of Square Tubing in the Inside Peak of the Roof. I used Zap-A-Gap to glue all of the House seems then I used Formula 560 White Glue to Strengthen the joints. I also added a couple of Loops to hold Lights! I Beefed up the right side of the Roof with 2 lengths of Square Tubing. I cut a slot, in the Base, for the Laser Switch and then drilled 2 holes to mount it with screws. More Coming...
  18. SILVER SAUCER! I spray painted the Saucer with Tamiya Silver Leaf. After the paint dried I polished the Silver paint with a soft rag. More Coming...
