That's Funny! Good idea though...

Great Project!

Thanks Wayne!

Thanks for the kind words Carl! I really appreciate it...

That's True! There are a few in the shop too...

Thanks Dave!

Looks Great!

Wonderful Project! Great Start...

Double Vents! I needed to fill a different shaped area with the Vents. So I cut 2 lengths of Stairs for this one. Then I glued them together and cut out an area for them. Here they are in place. Here is the McScaren Body with most of the Vents in place. More Coming...

Thanks Gene! Glad you like it...

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Bob! Yeah, it's kind of Fun seeing how they evolve....

Thanks Seth!

Thanks Bob!

More Vents! I decided to add Vents in the rear too. First cut the Vents then mark the Body Vent Areas to be cut out. Next cut out the Body Vent Areas and glue the Vents in. Here they are glued in place. More Coming...

The Last Few Photos... That's All Folks! Hope you enjoyed the MOON Beast...

On & Off - Finished Photos! More Photos Coming...

MOON BEAST is Finished! MOON Beast started out as a Monogram Baja Beast. I Sectioned It, Chopped the Top, Narrowed It, Cut Out the Windows and removed a Scoop from each side. Then I added an AMT Allison Engine, Tamiya Driver and Drag Racing parts from a few Dragster Kits. Here are the Finished Photos of the MOON Beast! More Coming...

Saucer Bumpers! Here is a photo of the Underside. I am going to use Quarter and Half-Round Strips to finish the outer Edge. I glued 2+ Quarter-Round Strips to the underside of the "Overhang" of the Top of the Dish, all the way around. Here is the Top side of the Dish. Next I glued 2+ Half-Round Strips to the Edge, right under the Quarter-Round Strips. The Side View. Now that the Strips are in place, they kind of remind me of Bumper Car Bumpers. More Coming...

STRIPS! I glued down the second Strip to form a ring. I needed to add some thickness to the Ring so I glued 2 Strips, that are half as thick as the first 2, over the first 2 Strips. That was the thickness I needed for a good fit. Next I glued the Top on to the bottom of the Disc. With these modifications and the UFO Saucer Sections in place, the Interior Height of the Saucer is now an inch Taller. The UFO Sections are not glued in yet. More Coming...

More Headroom! I decided to make the Saucer about 1/4 inch Thicker. The plan is to glue 1/4 inch Plastic Strips between the top and the bottom of the Saucer. I wrapped the Plastic Strips around small paint bottles to make them curve. Much easier to glue this way. I'm using Zap-A-Gap Glue and only gluing part of the Strip at a time, to the bottom of the Saucer. More Coming...

Vents! I'm going to add several Vents to the McSCAREN. These Plastic Stairs will work just fine. I cut a length of Stairs and used it the mark the areas to be cut out. I cut the areas out with a Drill Bit and a Cut-Off Wheel. After a little cutting and sanding, I got a pretty good fit, so I glued the first 2 Vents in place with Zap-A-Gap. More Coming...

Lower... I decided to cut a 1/4 inch section from the Chassis so I can Lower the McSCAREN a little. Before I did any cutting I glued a temporary brace inside the Chassis with Zap-A-Gap. Using a Cut-Off Wheel, I cut the Center Section as close as I could. Then I cut 1/4 inch from the Center Section and glued it back in place. Here is the Top Side after I removed the Temporary Brace. I should be able to lower McSCAREN Now! More Coming...

Nose Job! The front bottom off the Body is attached to the Chassis. I think I'll change that... So I cut the front Chassis Section off and attached it to the Body. Top View. More Coming...
