  1. Thanks for the kind words Dan! So glad you are enjoying it...
  2. Looks Great Pat! Very Realistic...
  3. Looks Great Jim! Real Nice Paint. My first car was a Henry J...
  4. Arm Mounts! I marked a section on each side of the rear to be cut off. They aren't needed with the New Rear End. I cut those sections off and I then I cut the ends off of the rear Cannon Mounts and glued them in place as shown. These are my new Robot Arm Mounts. Then I glued the two front Cannon Mounts under the Rear Cannon Mounts. More Coming...
  5. Big Butt! I decided to change the rear end on the AT Speeder. The Big Heat Sink looks Great on the Snow Speeder Space Ship but it looks too Big on the AT Speeder. It reminded me of one of the Robots with the Big Butt from the movie "Robots". So I traced the Heat Sink Shape on to some sheet plastic and cut it out. After a little more cutting and fitting I got the new plastic piece glued in place. Next I cut two small pieces of plastic to fit on the rear sides and glued them in place. More Coming...
  6. GREAT BODY JOHN! Real Nice Scratch Building...
  7. Double Bubble! After soaking the Bottle in hot soapy water I was able to remove the labels. Then I soaked a paper towel in Goo-Gone and laid it on the labels for an hour. The label glue came off pretty easy and I washed the bottle in hot soapy water. Here is a test-fitting of the Front Bubble. After trimming the Front Bubble to fit pretty well, I traced it's shape on to the other half of the Bottle and cut it out. Here is a mock-up of both Bubbles in place. I'm going to wait a few days before I do any more cutting, I need to think a little bit about the next step... More Coming...

  14. Bubble Top! Instead of a Convertible I decided to add a Bubble Top to the Vette Jet and I'm going to make it from a large plastic Brandy Bottle. I applied tape to the cut lines for the Bottle, then I marked the Lines with a Sharpie. I cut the Bottle in half with a Cut-Off Wheel, then I made additional cuts with RC Body Trimming Scissors. I am leveling off the bottom of the Front Bubble Top Half by moving it back and forth on Sandpaper. I will cut another Bubble Top for the Back Half. More Coming...
