  1. Great Build!
  2. Great Project!
  3. PAINTING THE PEOPLE! I stuck the people on chop sticks with 2-sided tape. The sticks make it easy to hold the figures while painting. Then I sprayed them with white lacquer primer. I used water-based acrylics to paint the figures. Then I sprayed them with Dull Coat. I used "The Detailer" Black Wash, diluted a little with water, on the figures. This brings out the details, like in the folds in the clothes or skin... More Coming...

  14. GIVE ME A FIN! I thought a Fin might look good on the Vette/Attemp Racer, so I traced a few Fin Shapes on a Post-It-Note... I transferred the paper shape on to file card and cut it out. I fit it to the body and refined the shape. Then I traced the file card shape on to plastic and cut it out. Then I beveled the outside edges with an X-acto Knife and Sanding Sticks. I marked the center line on the body and did some more fitting with the Fin. Then I glued the Fin in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. Here is the Fin in place! More Coming...

  17. PLASTIC SURGEON! Seating in the FUTURAY is much more reclined than the Futura, so some modifications are needed! I cut the backs of the Man's knees with a razor saw, just enough so I could bend them forward. I separated the Woman's left foot from her right leg and then I cut the back of the right knee. I fit them in the interior and then I glued the knees in the new positions. Next I trimmed the knees to shape, added putty and sanded them smooth... More Coming...
