  1. Impala Interior! The Custom Door Panels from the Revell 1959 Impala look like they will fit, with a little Cutting and Fitting. So I cut the ends off. Then I measured and cut the bottoms off. After a little more trimming the Door Panels fit perfectly in the Cockpit. Here they are in place. More Coming...
  2. Unhinged! The Hinge on the back of the Bubble Top is too big. I think I'll cut it off. First I wrapped some tape around it for protection. I cut off the Hinge with a Razor Saw and then trimmed it down smooth with a sharp X-Acto Knife. More Coming...
  3. Under Fin! I decided to add a New Fin to the underside of the UFO. I cut the first Fin out out of sheet plastic, but it wasn't big enough... I cut out a second Fin and it was just right. It will fit in the slot on the underside. Here it is in place! More Coming...
  4. Quick Mock Up! Top View. Side View. One More. More Coming...
  5. Rocks & Sand! I used a serrated kitchen knife to trim out a path and to shape the Base. Then I painted the Base with some Tan Acrylic Paint. Before the Paint dried I sprinkled Sand over the Base. Next I placed small Racks and Pebbles on the Base. I bought the Sand and Rocks at the Pet Store. The Paint wasn't enough to hold the Rocks so I dripped Elmers White Glue over the loose Rocks. Then I added more Glue and more Rocks. I painted the sides of the Base with Flat Black Acrylic Paint and then sprayed the whole Base with Testors Dull Cote. More Coming...
  6. Thanks Carl! Looking Forward to seeing them in place...
  7. Quick Mock Up! I sanded the Bubble Top mounting area flat with Foam Sanders. I found the Seat from Monogram's Trick T or Stinger Dragsters are a Great Fit! Top View. Rear View. More Coming...
  8. Thanks for the kind words Mike! So glad you are enjoying it...
  9. Great Progress! Very Realistic...
  10. Great Progress Ray!
  11. Great Progress John! Beautiful Work! Very Realistic...
  12. One Man Flying Sub! The UFO starts off as a Moebius Mini Flying Sub. The people in the Flying Sub are about 3/4 inch tall. I am going to change the Flying Sub into a One-Seater with the pilot about 3 inches tall. The New One Man Flying Sub will then be 25th Scale. I found a Lego Cockpit that fit pretty well so I trimmed it a little for a better fit. I marked the shape of the Cockpit on the Flying Sub. Then I cut out the Body a little smaller than the outline. More Coming...
  13. UFO CRASH! The Base for the AT Speeder will be at a UFO Crash Site! I cut an 18 inch length of a 2 inch by 8 inch Styrofoam for the Base. I cut the Crash Groove with an X-Acto Knife. The Crash Groove goes right off the edge of the Base. More Coming...
  14. Arm Sockets! I reamed out one end of some round Plastic Tubing for an Arm Socket. Then I cut off 1/4 inch length from that end. I did the same to make a second Socket. Here are the two lengths of Plastic Tubing glued in place. I painted them with Vallejo Brass Acrylic Paint. I tried painting the Straps on the Water Guns a few times and messed up the lines each time. So I applied Bare Metal Foil over the Straps. Now I'm Happy! More Coming...
  15. Thanks Dan! Yeah not too long now, but I find Finishing a Project the Hardest Part...
  16. Arms! I'm going to add two Arms to the AT Speeder. I found them in the Star Wars Probe Droid Action Robot Figure. It comes with five different Arms, so I got two Droids, now I have five Pairs of Arms. It is easy to take apart with a screwdriver. I picked two matching Arms. unfortunately there is a hole at the end of the Arm, I covered it with a plastic rhinestone. I painted the Arm with Tamiya Silver Leaf and added Red Details. Coming Soon...
