  1. Great Build Jim!
  2. LOOKS GREAT!!!
  3. GREAT BODYWORK BILLY!!! Real Nice Henry...
  4. GRABBER GOT WINGS!!! This is the original Right Side Wing from the Jedi Starfighter Kit. The grey indented area is where the "Mini Grabber Wings" fit into the Starfighter wings. I cut off the mounts for the Mini Wings. They will hold and hinge the wings on the Grabber. Here are the Wing Mounts after I sanded them to fit up against the curved body sides... I snapped the Wings in place on the Mounts and then glued the Wing Mounts to the body. Then I glued the Lower Wings to the Wing Mounts. The Upper Wings are free to move. More Coming...
  5. TAKE 'EM OFF! Here is another Rear View after a little Carving and Filling... I removed the 2 Side Wing Mounts from each side with a Dremel Tool, then Sanded the area smooth. More Coming...
  6. 3 FINS!!! I cut the top off of the second Tailfin and shaped both Fin Tops as shown. Here are the small Tailfins in place... Time for a little more primer and sanding, then maybe some Color! I am thinking I might paint it Blue Metalflake and Silver with White Tribal Flames... More Coming...
  7. Thanks George! Going by the size of the pilot, this one is about 1/32 Scale...
  8. MORE POWER!!! Two Jet Engines just aren't enough Power for the Grabber. I'm going to add Two More Engines, Clone Wars - Sublight Style Engines on the ends of the Wings. I started with two F-16A Jet Fighter parts, I think they are Gastanks or Bombs... I glued them together and sanded off the Tail Fins so that the Engines are now smooth. Then I glued them on to the Starfighters 2 Bottom Wings. More Coming...
  9. SHAVE IT OFF! I used Half-Round Plastic Strip to fill the "Snap-In" Slots. Then I removed all of the Romulan Markings from the top of the Stingray and applied some Filler/Primer. Next I drilled a hole in the underside and glued a length of Plastic Tubing in place. This Tubing will make the hole for the Steel Mounting Rod. More Coming...
  10. REAR END MODS... The sides of the stock body hung out, past the Rear. So I sanded off the excess side plastic to make the rear flush. Another View. Then I applied putty to the seams... More Coming...
  11. MORE FINS!!! The F14 Tomcat Jet Engines are set up to have 2 Tail Fins, I'm going add another! I started by removing the top from one of the Tomcat Fins. The Fin Tops will be used later... Then I measured to find the Center line on the rear and made a Fin Slot with a Cut Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. Here is the Center Fin in place, after a little Sanding and Shaping... More Coming...
  12. REAL NICE DESIGN!
  13. A NEW REAR END! I cut the bottom from the Rear End Part, so that I could change the placement of the Engines. I glued the Cockpit together including the top of the Rear End Part. I cut three pieces of sheet plastic to form the New Rear End... More Coming...
