  1. RAIDER VETTE is Finished! Here are some photos of this Wild 4 Model Kitbash. More Finished Photos Coming...
  2. Dodger with Doors! Here are a couple photos with the Doors set in place. Now that's starting to look like something... More Coming...
  3. Up on 2 Wheels! I did all of that Cutting & Gluing Back, in about a half/hour at a Club Demo. Here are a few photos from that day... Side View. Mock-Up, Rear View. More Coming...
  4. The Last Detail! Here is the Pilot glued in place. I added a Radar Screen, Speakers, Buttons, Knobs, Gauges and other Details to the Cockpit. There are Photos cut to fit and attached with 2 Sided Tape. I cut off the old Instrument Panel and replaced it with a larger one, big enough for the Blue Screen. Now I just need to do some touch-up and the RAIDER VETTE is Finished! Finished RAIDER VETTE Photos Coming Soon...
  5. Painting the Pilot! First I Primed the Pilot with DupliColor White Primer. Next I painted the Pilot with Tamiya & Vallejo Paints. After the Paint dried I applied The Detailer, a Black Wash. Then I added Seat Belt Decals and sprayed the Body with Testors Dullcote. The Helmet was brushed with Gloss Clear. I made 2 Flexible Joysticks with Gold covered string from the Sewing Supply Store and glued them in the Pilots Hands. More Coming...
  6. That's Funny Ray! Very similar to my check list...
  7. In the Middle! I positioned the Upper Body in place, but there was a big space where the belly should be. So I attached the Body Halves with a drop of Zap-A-Gap and then glued in scrap plastic to fill the Belly Space. After grinding down the excess scrap plastic I applied putty. Next I test fit the Head & Arms. I glued the Arms in place with a drop of Zap-A-Gap. Looks like I will have to glue the Head in after the Body is glued in. More Coming...
  8. Cutting It Up! First I cut the Bottom section from the Doors and then glued the Door Sections in place on the Body. Next I cut out the center section of the Pick-Up Bed and glued the Body Halves together. Then I made a Template, a little bigger than the Tires and cut out the New Wheel Wells. More Coming...
  9. The Pilot! The Pilot is from a Tamiya Figures Kit. Looks like his knees are up too high... So I made a Saw Cut behind each Knee and bent the Legs down a little bit. Then I glued them with Zap-A-Gap. Had to cut his Shoes off to fit right. The bottom half fits pretty good now. More Coming...
