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...

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...

Great Progress John! Beautiful Work! Very Realistic... -
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.

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...

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...
