  1. CLEAR & FLAMES... I added Tribal Flames to the Bed and applied a few coats of Testors Wet Look Clear. Rear View! More Coming...
  2. RAPTOR HEAD FIN! I decided to add a Head Fin to the Raptor. I stared by tracing the shape of the Head on a Jet Fighter's Tail Fin... Next I did a rough cut with a Razor Saw. Then I used a X-Acto Knife and trimmed the Fin to fit the Head. After I got a good fit I sanded the Fins Base Flat and sanded down the edges sharp. I glued the Fin in place with Zap-A-Gap. More Coming...
  3. Sounds Good! I'm headed for the kitchen now...
  4. TEAM USA, TEAM USA, TEAM USA!!! I added the Team USA-1 Decals to the Transporter. Here is the Hood! Side View... Rear Side View... More Coming...
  5. WINGS & THINGS! I cut the Wing Ends from a small jet plane model and added the bomb shapes on the Wing Ends. I glued the Wings in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label CA Glue. I took these Cannons from the Original AT-ST Head. They look like they might work well here... Oh Yeah, they fit in there Just Right! More Coming...
  6. FLAT SPACE! The Chest Area of the Raptor looks a little flat and bare... I modified a Supercharger from a WILLY WILD Cartoon Kit and glued it in place as shown. Much Better! More Coming...
  7. TAKIN' A WALK... Here is the Raptor with the Engines and Romulan Head in Place. Another View... More Coming...
  8. TRANSPORTER GOT COLOR! I sprayed a few coats of Testors Diamond Dust on the Transport. Then I turned the Transport up-side-down and sprayed Testors Star Spangled Blue, from underneath. This method avoids most of the over spray on the top of the body. I masked off the body and sprayed the Dashboard with Tamiya Mica Red to match the interior. More Coming...
  9. X-WING ENGINES! I'm adding 2 Star Wars, X-Wing Engines to the Raptor! I marked 2 holes for the Engines using templates. I cut down the length of the Engines to fit in far enough... Here is a Engine Test Fit. I think they will work just fine! More Coming...
  10. Thanks Bill! Glad you like it...
  11. HEAVY FEET! I added a couple coins to each foot to make Raptor more steady and to increase the gluing area of the feet. More Coming...
  12. MAGNETS! This plastic "neck' will be replaced with a magnet. I cut the "neck" out and glued the magnet in place. More Coming...
  13. MAGNETIC WARBIRD HEAD! Here is the front end of the AMT Romulan Warbird Spaceship. Looks like a Robot Head to me... I am using Strong Magnets, from a Crafts Store, to hold the Head on the Body. I ground-out an area to glue the Magnet to. This set up will hold the Head in place and allow me to position it how ever I want. Here is the Magnet in place. I have also cut away part of the back of the Head, for a better shape. More Coming...
  14. BARE METAL! I added 4 pieces of Chrome, Bare Metal Foil to the dash. What a Difference!!! More Coming...
  15. Romulan RAPTOR Robot! The Raptor is an All Terrain-Scout Transport Romulan Robot. The new head for the Raptor is the Front End from the Romulan Warbird. I had this part and 2 Great Engines left over, after I built the X-15 Stingray and the Futuray Models. Most of the other parts are from a "Built-Up" AT-ST I got from Ebay... The AT-St was not painted and it was built very well. I re-glued a couple joints and the body section was looking good. Fortunately, the old head came off easily! More Coming...
  16. GREAT START RAY!
