  1. Sorry, No Clothes! But they will be positioned tastefully...
  2. Jet Power! Here is the Raider with all 3 Racing Engines in place. Engine Detailing Coming later... Rear View. More Coming...
  3. Make a Stand! I started with a Base from the parts box. I am going to mount the RAIDER Vette on a Clear Rod. So I drilled a hole for the Clear Rod to go through. Then I glued a short length of plastic tubing to the underside of the Base to hold the Clear Rod. I will add a small piece of plastic on the end to keep the Rod from going all of the way through. Next I painted the Base with Testors Diamond Dust. You know, I think I might add lights to this Base! More Coming...
  4. Don't Miss Out! Only 2 weeks 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...
  5. Blue Fire! I decided to add some Excitement to the Engines! I'm going to fit some Blue Metalflake Film into the Narrow-Slotted Sections. The Metalflake Film is thick and when I rolled it around a pencil, it sprung back flat again. So I rolled a piece up and held it with Tweezers. Then I slipped it into the Narrow-Slotted Section and let go of the Tweezers. The Film sprung back and holds itself in place! Here are the Engine Sections with the Film in place. More Coming...
  6. Great Build Bobby! Real Nice Details...
  7. Pod Racing Engines! I assembled the Engines. Then I Primed them & Painted them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Next I Hand Painted the Gold Sections. Then I applied a "The Detailer", Black Wash and after they dried I sprayed them with Glosscote. More Coming...
  8. Thanks Tom! The Raider Vette could be a High Performance or Racing Saucer. Or it could be a High Speed Fighter Saucer with multiple Laser Cannons around the circumference of the Body and Atomic Photon Torpedoes hidden behind Panel Doors...
  9. Bubble Test! I had to remove the Hinge Bar from the Bubble Top to fit it in place. Looks like a Great Fit. Next I need to apply some Glosscote on the Body. But I have to apply the last decal first. With all of the Decals in place, I applied a couple coats of Glosscote. Then I let it dry in the dehydrator for about a half hour. More Coming...
