  1. Nice Build!
  2. LOOKS GREAT!!! Beautiful Paint...
  3. PAINTIN' THE INTERIOR... I painted most of the Interior Dark Brown. The inside of the Intakes are done in Flat Black. Here is the Pre-Painted Seat. Copper and Aluminum were used on the Controls and Fittings. A wash of "The Detailer- Black" was used over the painted surfaces. Then I painted the Instrument Panels Flat Black, hit the Panel Highlights with "Rub-N-Buff Silver, and then used Colored Sharpies to add Color! More Coming...
  4. LOOKS GREAT BILLY! Beautiful Work...
  5. GETTIN' STARTED! After building the X-ITE, a Star Trek Type Worker Bee, I decided to make a little Star Wars Style Working Bee. I plan to add Large Robotic Arms and Wings with Folding Solar Panels to the Grabber. This kit is Pre Painted, which makes my job easier because I don't have to mask all of those little windows. The first thing I did was to modify the 2 Rectangular Sections on the sides of the body. I want to make them look like Intakes for the engines! I cut the bottom sections as shown... Here are the Body Parts back in place. The Intakes are now the shape I wanted! More Coming...
  6. THE GRABBER !!! This is the story about the Grabber, a Jedi Robot Space Ship! Grabber started as Obi-Wans Jedi Starfighter. More Coming... 8-)

  10. Thanks for the kind words Dr.! John amazes me too...
  11. Thanks for the kind words Niko! Glad you like it...
  12. MORE POWER!!! Two Big Jet Engines just aren't enough Power for the Stingray. I'm going to add Two More Engines, Clone Wars - Sublight Style Engines on the ends of the Wings. I started with two F-18A Hornet Jet Fighter parts, I think they are Gastanks or Bombs... I want the New Engines to line up with the body, so I marked a cut line that looked pretty close to what I wanted. Here is the wing after the cut... More Coming...
  13. Thanks Gary! I have been building many kinds of models most of my life, so I have had a lot of practice. Since I have learned how to fix the modeling mistakes I make and make less mistakes, I have been building much faster...
  14. BEAUTIFUL WORK HARRY! Looks like a real SF Cable Car...
  15. Beautiful Work Steve!
  16. MAKE IT SMOOTH!!! I used 4 Plastic Strips of to blend the Top Pieces with the body. Zap-A-Gap, Green Label Glue holds the Strips in place. Here are the Strips in place. I cut away the excess from the rear after the Strips were glued in... More Coming...
  17. Real Nice Work Steve!
