  1. First Thing! I soaked the Chrome Engine Parts in Purple Power. In a few hours the Chrome was gone. Next I sprayed on a couple of coats of DupliColor Grey Filler/Primer. Then I glued the Engine Halves together. More Coming...
  2. MOON BEAST! The Moon Beast will be an Open Wheel, 2000 HP Exhibition Drag Racing Monster! The main Body & Chassis parts for the Moon Beast come from Monograms Baja Beast. The 12 Cylinder Allison Airplane Engine is from an AMT Parts Pack. It is chrome plated now, but not for long... The name Moon Beast was inspired by the Slixx Moooneyes Decals I just got on Ebay. More Coming...
  3. Strange Thing... These are parts from a 12th scale Ferrari Engine and an X-Wing Fighter. I drilled a hole in the Ferrari Part and enlarged it with a reamer. I made the hole just big enough for the X-Wing Thruster to fit in. Then I positioned the Thruster in place and then I applied glue on the back to keep the front clean. This part will fit on the back of RRRobot. More Coming...
  4. Thanks Ralph! Glad you enjoyed the Vette Jet...
  5. Great Build!

  7. Looks Great Jim! Wonderful Paint...
  8. Thanks Dave! I'm working on RRRobot on the "All the Rest" Section and a VW Dragcar...
  9. Thank You Dr.! Yeah, I think the Pod Racer Engines are my favorites...
  10. Bubble Front For RRRobot! I fit the Bubble to the Front Hatch. Then I removed the center section, leaving just a small area on top. The small area works like an eye lid, it can close in case of Danger! Here is the Bubble in position. I cut 2 lengths of plastic Tubing and glued them in the Side Indentations. These will serve as reversible Hinges & Locks. I also covered the bottom of the Lower Indentation with a strip of plastic. More Coming...
  11. I grabbed it! I grabbed the very end, diped it in, pulled it out, put it on a steel rack and with a Q-Tip I put more Future where I had touched it...
  12. Egg Plate? I think I got this tip at Show Rods.Com. Found this Egg Dish at the Dollar Store. It should be perfect for Bubble Tops & Canopies. I cut out the Best looking "Bubble" with a Cut-Off Wheel. The Bubble was too big so I cut off a little more plastic. Then I put it on Sanding Block and sanded it down to fit on the front of RRRobot. More Coming...
  13. Drillin' Some Holes... I opened up 6 Indentations in the front. I'm going to put some Screen behind most of the holes. I opened 3 more Holes in the back. I also drilled Holes for the Fiber Optics... More Coming...
  14. Great Build! Nice Weathering & Damage...
  15. Thanks Bob! I just found an Egg Plate in the kitchen. Now what can we do with this?
  16. That's Right! I saw an Airline Commercial that mentioned the fuel savings with the Tips...
  17. Beautiful Work!
  18. Looks Great Bob! Very Realistic...
  19. Thrusters & Stuff! I decided to add a few New Details to RRRobots sides. The grey round piece is a Sunken Headlight from a 1949 Mercury. I drilled holes and glued one in each side. I'm going to add Thrusters to RRRobot, so I used a Engine Parts from the X-Wing Fighter and glued one to each side. Then I glued a Metal Washer on each end. Edsel Grill? Yes, I glued an Edsel Vent on each side... More Coming...
