    GREAT BUILD DAVID!!! Nice Paint & Fine Detailing...
  2. GREAT BUILDS BERNARD!!! Thanks for sharing...
  3. GREAT BUILD JIM!!! Real Nice Detailing...
  4. TWO BIG INTAKES!!! I cut 2 pieces of sheet plastic to fit along the hood lines. These will be the inside walls of the Intakes... Next I cut 2 pieces of plastic to fill in the areas on the tops of the Intakes... Then I cut 2 more pieces of plastic, to fill in the bottoms on the Intakes... More Coming...
  5. PEGASUS!!! Pegasus is a Anti-Gravity Racer with Pod Racer Engines. The Most of the parts are from the Monogram Mustang GTP Kit. The Engines are from the AMT Star Wars Pod Racer Kit. I am going to take the Intakes from the Jet and modify them to fit the Mustang... I cut the front of the Mustang off with a razor saw and got the Intakes off of the old plane without breaking them! With a little trimming I got the Intakes to fit! More Coming...
  6. GREAT PAINT & WHEELS!!!
  7. THANKS CHARLES!!! I haven't seen a photo of that trike in a long time.Here is one of my favorite features of the Candy Wagon Trike... Yeah Ed Roth has always been BiG influence for me...
  8. WE GOT FENDERS!!! I used Zap-A-Gap and glued the Rear Fenders in place... Side View. Rear View!
  9. FENDERS/ARMRESTS!!! I am using 2 Revell Chopper Rear Fenders on the Quad. I cut out the outside edge of each Fender so they will clear the rear tires. I cut both Fenders off at a point, to match each other. Then I cut 2 strips of plastic, bent them and glued them on the inside edge of both Fenders.
  10. UP ON TWO WHEELS!!! I added a short length of plastic tubing to each end of the axle to make it wider. I found some brass tubing that fit inside the rear axle, but it doesn't fit the rear wheels... I used the next two larger sizes of aluminum tubing to reduce the rear wheel hole size. I cut short lengths of tubing to fit inside the holes and glued them in. Now the Wheels will Fit! Here are the Wheels & Tires in place on the New Axle.
  11. BEAUTIFUL BUILD JOHN!!! Looks like a Real Truck, Amazing Detailing...
  12. MORE...QUAD MODS!!! I made the Quad Body with .080 sheet plastic. This stuff is almost 1/8th inch wide! I used the Wide Plastic so I could Carve down all of the outside edges and Round them off... Here is a closer shot! Rear Side View...
  13. FLAMES!!! Got Ed in the Cockpit and glued his arms in place. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue to fill the Shoulder Gaps... After searching for a while, I found that the Revell '68 Corvette Flame Decals were perfect for the Stiletto! Here are the Flame Decals in place... ALMOST FINISHED!!!
  14. ENGINES!!! I'm working on the Engines Now. I applied Bare Metal Foil to some of the parts and used Brass, Flat Black, Flat Aluminum and Chrome Silver paint on the others. The Tail Lights are from a '37 Cord. I applied some Black "The Detailer" Wash on parts of the Engines... Here is the Front View. The Headlights are from the old AMT Parts Pack...
