SLICING A TOP! I found the perfect shape for a Flying Saucer Top in a Gumball Machine. This is one of those containers with toys in them, that you can find in Vending Machines. I put a strip of 1/8th inch wide tape around the blue piece as shown. Then I drew a line along the edge of the tape and removed the tape. Next I cut off the top with a Cut-Off Wheel. More Coming...

Thanks Pat!

ONE SAUCER PLEASE! I found an old Tupperware bowl that was the Perfect Shape for the Top-Outside section of the Flying Saucer. I scribed a circle on the bottom of the Tupperware with the X-acto Knife-Compass. I cut along that line with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. Here is the Cut-Out Section of Tupperware after Sanding and Leveling the bottom. The Top of the Pegasus UFO fits Perfectly on the Ridge on the Tupperware bottom. More Coming...

San Francisco Verses the Flying Saucers! Members of our San Francisco SciFi Club are all building Ray Harryhausen Tribute Models for our 11th Year Anniversary Meeting Next Month! This my version of a scene, that might have happened, from the Ray Harryhausen Movie Earth Verses the Flying Saucers. I started with parts from the Pegasus Models Alpha Centari UFOs Kit, a 1970's IHC Victorian House, a Ferrari 250 GT, sheet plastic, a Laser Beam and Glowing and Flashing-Color Changing Lights.

MORE MUD! I applied Squadron Putty over the Rough or Low Spots. This Raised Area , behind the door, is an important 57 detail that I want to keep. I built up putty on the Fenders so the Raised Area blends in better. More Coming...

Thanks Bob!

Looking Good! Great Progress Shane...

Thanks Tony!

SHARP NOSE! The lines of the Camaro Nose are very Sharp and Straight. I'm going to see if I can Smooth out those lines to blend in a little better. I used the Mini-Sanding Disk and Sanding Boards to get the right shape on the Nose. Then I went ahead and Sanded the rest of the body. Now you can see the low spots that need more putty. Notice the Circle Shapes on the roof, where I sanded. The original windows were glued in with Too Much Glue, and this is what happened! More Coming...

TOO WIDE! After test fitting the headlights I found that the Camaro Fenders are still a too Wide in the Front... I used a Micro-Mart Mini-Sanding Disk to remove a little from the Fenders. You can also use this Sanding Disk to Blend the Removed Area back into the Fenders. Here is the front end after Shaping and Sanding the Front Fenders. More Coming...
