  1. Great Progress! Real Nice Work...
  2. Electric Wheels! First I sprayed the Wheels with DupliColor Grey Filler/Primer. Next I sprayed a couple of coats of Tamiya Silver Leaf. Then I brushed a Black Wash on the center ribbed section. More Coming...
  3. Looks Great!
  4. Battlestar Galactica! I found these Engine End Caps, left over from a vintage Monogram Colonial Viper Kit Bash. They will be the covers for the Electric Engines in each Wheel. I could have glued the Engine Ends on the outside of the Rims, but I thought they would look better recessed into the Rims. So I marked off some plastic to be removed. After a lot of Grinding and Fitting and Sanding I got one of the Ends to fit inside! More Coming...
  5. X-Wing Things! I found these Engine Halves in the Parts Box. They are also from the old 12" MPC X-Wing Fighter. With a little Cutting & Fitting they should fit the Gyro Box just right. Here are the Engine Halves in place on the Gyro Box. More Coming...
  6. Star Wars! Found the Back End of an old 12" MPC X-Wing Fighter in the Parts Box! Perfect fit on the back of the Gyro Box! More Coming...
  7. GYRO Box! Next I cut 2 pieces of sheet plastic to fit over the front & back of the Axle Supports. Then I glued them in place as shown. I cut a small piece of plastic to fit the bottom and glued it in. Then I sanded the sides smooth with Sanding Boards & Sandpaper. This is where the Batteries and Gyro Scope are located.
