  1. NICE PAINT!
  2. GREAT LOOKING BODY!!! Real Nice Styling!
  3. THE FIN IS IN!!! I cut the Front and Rear Sections from the Interior and Shaved a little off the Bottom too. I cut a piece of sheet plastic to cover the front area removed from the Interior, and glued it in place... Next I Cut Off the Back Section of the Bubbletop and glued it in place as shown. Then I Sanded the area smooth. I cut the BiG Fin from sheet plastic, sanded the edges down nice and sharp, and glued it in place!
  4. BEAUTIFUL WORK!
  5. Thanks Edward! Yes, the Stinger is 1/20th scale and the X-Wing Fighter is a little bigger than HO scale. The X-Wing Figure is only about 1" tall...
  6. WE'VE GOT POWER!!! I sliced off the ends of the X-Wings and then I glued them together. Then I turned the X-Wing Assemblies around so that the Wings face the Engine Mounts. Next I spread the Wings and glued them on to the Engine Mounts. Here they are in place...

    NICE BUILD!!!
  8. Thank You Dr.! Its almost Finished...
  9. Yeah, I like to try New Things for a Change of Pace....
  10. ENGINE MOUNTS!!! I am making Engine Mounts with 1/2" Plastruc "L" Strip. I cut the strips so that they filled the Slots in the X-Wing Body. I also trimmed the front so that it extends to the point shown. This will allow me to slide the Engines Forward!
  11. ADDING SOME UNDERSIDE SHAPE!!! I cut the top front off of the X-Wing Fighter Body... I did some Cutting and Fitting to make for tight fit. Then I glued it in place. Here is another view!
  12. I don't think they ever had Wipers...
  13. STILETTO GETS SOME BACK!!! I turned the back half of the X-Wing Body up-side down and sliced it to match the Stinger's Rear Body Line... I glued it in place on the Stinger as shown. Here is a shot of the Stiletto showing the progress...
  14. Yeah, these Low Rider Rims made Great Jets, and there are lots of other Great Mag Wheels that work too...
  15. STILETTO!!! Stiletto is a High Speed - Jet Powered Flying Car! I always wanted a Flying Car... I am using parts from AMT's X-Wing Fighter and Monogram's Seaquest Stinger Kits to make the Stiletto. The first thing I did was to cut off the rounded bottom of the Stinger and replace it with Flat Sheet Plastic. Next I cut off the Tail Section and removed a Pie-Shaped section from the cut. Then I turned the Tail Up-Side Down and glued it back. This caused the angle of the Tail Section to changed in a downward direction. Next I cut the bottom edge of the body as shown... I cut the front off the X-Wing Fighter and carved it to fit the Stinger Body, Up-Side Down. Then I glued it in place... More Coming...
  16. Thanks for the kind words Mark! Glad you like it...
