Great Progress!

RRRobot's Got Color! I started by hand painting Vallejo Paints Flat Black with a rectangular brush. Then I started hand painting some Flat Red Vallejo Paint. Then I added more Red. This paint covers very well and doesn't show brush strokes too much. It also wipes off with a wet Q-Tip before it dries and some small mistakes can be rubbed off with a tooth pick after it dries. After the paint dried I sprayed on a coat of Testors Glosscote. More Coming...

Thanks Mark!

Wet Paint! I applied Filler/Primer to all of the parts and let them dry in the Sunshine. The lower half of RRRobot looks like Metal so I sprayed it with Tamiya Silver Leaf. The top half of RRRobot looks like it could be made from Fiberglass or maybe an exotic mix of Kelver and Graphite. I painted the top half with Testors Diamond Dust Metalflake Paint. More Coming...

Thanks Carl! The Baja Beast is a Fun Kit...

Thanks Jesse! Is That Alison Powered too?

Great Build Mike! Love the MuD...

The BiG Ball Tire! I am going the use a strip of plastic to help define the Ball Tire Shape. I started by bending the strip so it went around the Ball easier. Next I glued down part of the strip with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I cut the end of the strip to match the other end and glued it in place. I added 2 half round plastic shapes on the sides of the strip. I also glued 2 caps from the recycle bin in place to represent Thrusters. More Coming...

Frame Mods! Looks like I am going to need to remove some excess plastic from the Frame to fit the New Body. I used a Cut-Off Wheel to remove most of the plastic. I ended removing the rest of the excess plastic with an X-acto Knife and a Sanding Block. Top View. More Coming...

Thanks Seth!

Thanks Tony!

Great Project Dr.!

Thanks Joe! Love Starting a New Project...

Laser Claws! These are the front halves of the Hands, where the Claws attach. I removed the bump in the end. The right side shows the modification. Perfect size for a Laser! I used a Rhinestones for the Lasers. More Coming...

Skinny Van! Here is the Moon Beast Body glued together. I used Zap-A-Gap the glue the Body Pieces. I did a little sanding after the glue dried. Front View. Rear View. More Coming...

Thanks Stan!

Big Arms! These fit like Shoulder Pads and cover some of the Shoulder Detail, so I decided to carve out 2 more slots on each one. The right side shows the part after carving the slots. Big Hands Too! The Hands are in 2 Big pieces and the Claws are even Bigger! I cut a slot in each Hand/Half to show more of the inside details. The right side shows the carved slot. More Coming...

First Cuts! I cut the Spoiler and lower front end off in one piece. I used a Razor saw to make the cuts. Next I cut out the front and rear ends. Then I cut the section out of the roof. I cut the bottom sides off next. More Coming...

Oh Boy! This should be Fun...

Beautiful Work! Thanks for Sharing...

Thanks Art! So glad you like it...

I found few of the Baja Beasts on Ebay!

Batteries! I found two 25th scale Batteries in the Parts Box. I cut off the bottoms so that they would be the same height. Then I glued them on the front. I positioned them so that the molded-in Wires go underneath them. I think they look like little Control Boxes with Buttons rather than Batteries now. More Coming...

Thanks Scott! Yes the little Honda is a Great Addition to the kit...

Body Lines! I decided to do a Simple Section on the Body. I started by applying 1 inch wide tape around the Body, running along the Body's Center Line. I drew the lines along the bottom of the tape. Then I removed the tape. I also want to reduce the width of the Body by about 1 inch. So I applied tape right down the center of the Body. I drew a line on each side of the tape. Then I removed the tape. More Coming...
