  1. Thanks Steve! No lighting on this little Raider, but I am doing complete Lighting with VooDooFX Special Effects on the Big 17" VooDoo RAIDER...
  2. Plug It In! I drilled the 2 Holes in the rear/center of the Raider's underside. The small Hole at the rear is for the 3rd Strobe Light. The Larger Hole to the left is for an AC Power Plug. Here is the inside view. The Strobe Wires will have to split to go around the post. I trimmed away part of the inside edge of the Rear Cap to clear the 3rd Strobe Wires. More Coming...
  3. Shinny & Dull... Earlier I sprayed the VooDoo Raider all over with Testors Dullcote to seal in the Acrylic paints and give it a Finished Look. There are 2 Cylon Decals that go on the Wings. Decals don't work well on Dull surfaces, so I sprayed the Wings with a quick coat of Glosscote. Then I applied the Decals on the dry Shinny Wings. After the Decals dried I sprayed on a couple coats of Dullcote. More Coming...
  4. Drilling Some Holes! First I drilled out the ends of the Laser Cannons. Then I drilled a Hole in the end of each top side of the Wing as shown, for Strobe Light Wires.. Next I drilled a Hole in each side of the under Body to match the Wing Holes I just made. Then I drilled a Hole in the underside of each Wing, for the Strobe Lights. More Coming...
  5. Shades of Grey! I painted the ends of the Under-Wings a Medium Grey. Most of the painting I am doing is covered in the instructions. Here are the Amidships Housings with some Medium Grey and Silver Details painted. Several sections on the Underside were also painted Medium Grey. More Coming...
  6. Holes For Light! I opened up these 2 Holes in the rear of the Body with a reamer, for the Pulsing Engine Lights. Next I drilled these 2 Holes, in the Front Bulkhead, for the Headlights. I drill the Holes just large enough to fit the LEDs in snugly. Then I drilled these 2 Holes in the Amidships Housings, for Bright Yellow Lights. More Coming...
  7. Paint it Grey...and Black! I started by painting most of the parts a Medium Grey. Then I added Black Sections and Black Stripes. I painted the insides of the Engine Fairings Flat Black. Here are the Fairings in place with the Black accents. More Coming...
  8. VooDoo RAIDER! I am adding VooDooFX Lighting with Special Effects to the Big 17" Mobius Cylon Raider. This Custom installation includes the standard VooDooFX Big Cylon Raider Lights, Plus 3 Strobe Lights and 2 Pulsating Engine Lights. You can get the VooDooFX Lighting and Special Effects products online at: http://www.voodoofx.com. If you call VooDooFX at: 1-650-568-3400 they can set you up with Custom Lighting exactly the way you want for most any project. They also offer Great Customer Support. More Coming...
  9. Martian Mock-Up! Here is a quick mock-up of the Saucer floating above my table. Most of the Body Work is done and I figured out how to do the Lighting. Now I need to get some Special Lights so I can install the Lights & Death Ray. More Coming...
  10. Wings! First I glued the Body halves together. Next I filled the openings on the ends with scrap plastic. Then I sanded down the ends of the Body and Wings with a big sanding block, to make flat areas for gluing the Wings to. Using Zap-A-Gap, I glued the Wings flush along the Top Edge and the Front. The 2 Body Parts stick out way past the Wings. So I marked them for cutting. Then I cut off the excess Body Parts with a Cut-Off Wheel. More Coming...
  11. Never built one! But I think I have taken Engines & other Parts from 4 or 5 Pod Racer Kits...
  12. It's Flying! I replaced the stock set up for the mount and glued in a piece of tubing just large enough fit a 1/4" Clear Plastic Rod. Here is the inside shot. Later, I glued a piece of plastic to cover the end of the tube. Now Raider Vette can be mounted up on the clear rod, flying above the base. More Coming...
  13. The Other Part! I cut the triangular shape off the other half of the Cylon Front End Part to make a Digital Display for the cockpit. After a little Fitting and Trimming I got a Great Fit in the Cherry Bomb Cockpit. Here it is in place. More Coming...
  14. Cylon Stylin'... This part normally fits on the front of the Cylon Raider. I am cutting this Cylon Part in half and using part for the New Front Grill and the other part for a Digital Display in the Interior. After a little trimming the Cylon Part fits right inside of the Corvette Nose. More Coming...
