I think the Aluminum Hemi Cuda is already one of the nicest models I have ever seen...

Thanks Gary! Yeah, Belmaro does sound good, I like it...

WASHES! I decided to put a Graduated Wash on the Raptor. I started with a Grey wash and applied it from just under the Wings and Down to the Feet. Then I applied some diluted Black Wash from midway down the Legs to the Feet. Next I applied a coat of undiluted Black from the Knees down to the Feet. I applied some Testors Dullcoat to the Body of the Raptor, none for the Head. I didn't apply any Washes or Dullcoat to the Head. I like the Clean Look on top with the Dirt building up all the way down to the Feet. When I added an Amber Rhinestone to the Eyes the Raptor seemed to come Alive! Well maybe it just looks more alive now. I'm doing some last minute Detailing and mounting everything to the base, so the next Photos you see will be of the Finished Raptor! Finished Photos Coming Soon...

Real Nice Bodywork Michael!

Great Project Ken!

Looks Great Dave!

Beautiful Work Pete!

Thanks Mike! Yeah, this is the first Robot Model I've Built. It's Great Fun...

FINISHING THE PAINTING! I'm almost finished hand painting the colors for Raptor. I ended up using Silver, 4 Shades of Green, Flat Black, Gloss Black, Gold, Gunmetal, Flat Aluminum and Brass Paints. First I painted all the colors with 2 coats, then I came back and painted over any mistakes. I used a Black Sharpie to paint the Horizontal Windows on the Raptor Head. I also used a Green Sharpie to outline the Green areas before painting. I am using The Detailer Washes on the Raptor. I started with the Raptor Engines and the Egg Thruster. I laid them down so that The Detailer Wash will settle down in the Engine and Thruster Crevices. After they dried I turned the Raptor on its side and added Wash in areas that needed extra attention. More Coming...

GOING UP! The Egg needed some Lift, so I decided to add a Vertical Thruster! Starting with A Zinger Wheel, I cut most of the back off. Then I sanded the back smooth. Here it is in place... More Coming...
