Great Engine Ken!

Thanks Again for all of the Kind Words Guys! It was Great Fun... I started a New Project, the AT Speeder...http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88961

The Parts are Coming! I should have my Clear Parts for the Vette Jet by Monday, Then I can continue with the Top... In the mean time I have been working on a New Project, the AT Speeder...http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88961

Iron Toes! I marked and then cut the excess plastic and Toes from the bottom of the Feet. Then I cut the excess plastic from around the Toes. Next I traced the gluing area of the Toes on to the Feet. I found it easier to to this on the bottom of the Feet. Here is the Traced area cut out, ready for the Toe. Here are the Feet with all of the Toes glued in place. More Coming...

Low Walkers! Here are all four Feet with the Sides attached. They still look Very Heavy, like Elephant Feet... So using a cut-off wheel, I cut the height on the Feet by about 3/8 inch. Here are the New "Low Walker" Feet! More Coming...

Thanks Dan!

Great Progress John! Beautiful work on the Engine...

Great Project John!

New Sides! I cut out a piece of plastic to fill the side of one of the Feet. Then I traced it seven times for all of the sides. Here is the piece glued in place. Next I went ahead and glued the other seven pieces in the sides of the Feet. More Coming...

BiG Feet! The AT-AT Feet are very Big. I decided to reduce their width and height. I started by cutting off the sides of the feet. Next I used an X-acto Knife and a foam sanding board and cleaned up the cuts. More Coming...

Looks Great!

Thanks Bruce! No Sketches this time...

Fixing a Hole... The Huge Heat Sink on the back of the Speeder has an open back. I am going to fill the open section with sheet plastic. I cut a rectangle plastic shape and then I carved it to fit inside of the Heat Sink. Here it is in place. More Coming...

Great Build Dr.! Real Nice Work...

Save That! I decided to use the Rear Section of the AT-AT Underbody that I cut off. I'm going to use it on the front of the AT-AT Underbody. I also added a strip of plastic so I can glue the screen in place later. Here is the Rear Section and the Strip glued in place. This will be an Intake Vent in the front of the AT Speeder. More Coming...

Great Build Dr.!

Looks Great!

Looks Great Matt! Real Nice Work...

Drive Units! The AT-AT Underbody is a little too long for the AT Speeder so I cut about 3/4 inch off the back end. The Rear Drive Unit was also a little long so I cut some off the end. Here are the Drive Units glued in place on the Underbody. I moved the Front Drive Unit a little forward to increase the wheel base. More Coming...

LOWER! This is the Underside of the AT-AT. I cut off the tops of the Drive Unit Mounts with a Cut-Off Wheel. I removed about 1/4" of plastic so the Legs will fit 1/4" higher up into the body. Using a Drum Sander I rounded the top of the mounting area. More Coming...
