  1. Looks Great Bob! Love the El Caminos...
  2. Great Build! I want to Drive it...
  3. Looks Great Mike! Very Realistic...
  4. Wires, Clips & Lights! I drilled 2 Holes for the Spotlights. Then I cut 2 lengths of Aluminum Tubing to fit in the Holes. I am bending Paper Clips to hold the Color Changing LED's below the Mesh. Here are the Clips & LED's, held in place with Hot Glue. Here are the Wires Soldered in place. Velcro holds the Battery to the Base. More Coming...
  5. WILD STUFF DR.!!! Great Build...
  6. Stretching the Mesh! I started by cutting 2 lines that connected the 2 grooves, so now I have a Triangular Opening, sort of. Next I cut a small piece of Brass Mesh an Pushed & Shaped it through the Opening until I got this Real Nice Shape. Then I glued it in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label & Hot Glue. More Coming...
  7. Great Build Ray!
  8. More Gold Lines! I had some extra Lines left over from the Pod Racer Engines, so I added them to the Third Engine. Next I added a little Black Wash to bring out the details in the Gold Areas and make the Gold Lines look Brighter. More Coming...
  9. Gold Lines! I added several Gold Lines to the Engines. All of these Lines come with the Kit. Since I only detailed the back of the Engines I had extra Lines to Detail the Rear with... More Coming...
  10. The Last Week! Only 1 week left before the CAR-Toons 2015 Contest Deadline! Get Busy Building & Enter before it's too late so you don't miss out on all of the Great Fun & Prizes...
  11. Brass Vents! I glued the Brass Mesh in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. Here is the front with the Brass in place. Here are the Rear Vents. More Coming...
  12. Brass Mesh! I found this Metal Mesh in an Art Supply Store. I think it will go well with the Purplelisious Paint. First I cut off some Brass Mesh so it will be easier to work with. Then I started to make File Card Templates to fit in the Vents. Next I held the Templates on to the Mesh and cut them to size. More Coming...
  13. Thanks Kenneth! Yeah, I will be adding Fuel Lines and 4 Vents...
  14. Blackout! I decided to add some Metal Mesh to the front & Rear Vents. I started by Flattening the Detail in the Front Vents with a Dremel Tool. I wish I had done this before I painted the Body, because the Dremel Bit snagged and started to move towards the outside of the Body. Fortunately I stopped it before it caused any serious damage, just scratched the paint a little and knocked one Engine out. I'll glue the Engine back in & touch it up the scratches later. Notice I glued the Cylon Raider Grill in the Corvette Grill Opening. Here are the Rear Vents painted Flat Black. Here are the Front Vents painted Flat Black. More Coming...
