Thanks for the kind words Robin!

Funny you should ask! Just started back to work on the Vette Jet yesterday...

New Bubble! When trying to fit the Rear Bubble to the Body Contours I cut too much off. The Rear Bubble was a little too low for head clearance. So I traced the Front Bubble on to another Brandy Bottle and cut it out. I used a Razor Saw to start the cut in the bottle, then I cut the rest with Lexan Scissors from Kyohso. Alcohol wipes are good to remove the Sharpie lines from tracing the New Bubble. Here is the New Rear Bubble in place! Plenty of headroom now. Rear View. More Coming...

More BMF! I added Bare Metal Foil to the four doors just behind the head lights. I also cut out some Fine Screen and glued in in place in the chassis opening as shown. Then I added BMF to the two rectangular parts in the Leg Joints too. More Coming...

Great Project Ray! Love the Cheetah...

Looks Great Bruce!

Looks Great! Real Nice Start...

Great Work Michel!

Thanks Rich! So glad you like it...

Bert & Ernie? No, not Bert & Ernie, it's Ron & Bernie! Ron, a Test Flight Pilot, is the Driver. He has a Racing Technology Company for High Performance Hot Rods, Jets and Flying Saucers. Bernie, an Explorer and Engineer, is the Controller. He handles the Guns and the Robot Arms in the back. Together they Built the AT Speeder to Search for Lost Treasures! More Coming...

Looks Great! Fantastic Painting...

Bare Metal! I decided to add a little more Chrome! I am using Bare Metal Foil, a self adhesive Chrome Foil. Here is the top section done. Here is the side detail without the Chrome Foil. Here is the Side with the Foil applied. I will brush a Black Wash over the Chrome later, to tone it down a little. More Coming...

Thanks Gary!

Ready To Go! Here are the Pilots in the finished Cockpit. Front Pilot. Looks like he is pounding on the Dashboard... Rear Pilot. More Coming...

Thanks Tony! I do plan on doing some more Weathering & Damage after I get it mounted on a Scenic Base...

Dash Details! I used Toothpicks and Acrylic Paint to highlight the small details on the Dashboards. I picked up these Dashboard Details on Ebay. The originals were printed on plastic film. I found this plastic film a little hard to work with so I made photo quality copies in different sizes. Now I have different sizes on photo paper that can apply anyway I want to. Here is the Front Dash with the New Details. I used two-sided tape to hold the Details in place. Here is the Rear Dash! More Coming...

Arms! I fit the Drivers in the Cockpit so that I could position their Arms. When I got an Arm in position I would put on some Zap-A-Gap to hold it. I applied some Formula 560 White Glue in the Arm Joints. After it dried I touch up the colors again. Then I applied a light Black Wash on the Drivers. After the Wash dried I sprayed them with Testors Dullcoat. More Coming...

Thanks for the kind words my friend! I really appreciate it...

Thanks Ray!

Speeder Drivers! I started painting the Drivers for the AT Speeder. First I applied a coat of White Lacquer Primer. Then I began hand painting with Vallejo Acrylic paints. I used a Red Sharpie for the lines on the Helmets. The Drivers Seats! I sprayed the Interior Parts with Dupli-Color White Primer. Then I painted the Seats with Vallejo Intense Blue and the Floor with Flat Black. Next I applied a thin Black Wash over the White Parts. More Coming...

Looks Great Jim! Real Nice Painting...

Looks Great! Very Realistic...

Thanks Dan! Glad you like it...

Red Shocks with Gold Springs! When I first started RC Racing the Really Hot Parts for my Yokomo Dogfighter were Kyosho Red Shocks with Gold Springs. I got some and they were Great! Anyway, I shortened the Shocks that fit between the Legs and the Feet, and painted them Red. Then I added Gold Springs from Ball Point Pens to the Shocks. Close Up. More Coming...

Love This Shot!!!
