FIRE AND ICE! I painted the Fire Frog with Testors Lime Ice Spray Paint. I really like this Green Paint over the Black, much more dramatic then spraying over lighter colors. I found a couple sets of these Slixx Flame Decals. I think they will be perfect for the Fire Frog! More Coming...

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Gary!

PAINTED BLACK! I sprayed the Frog with Black Primer. I am going to use Black as a base for the Metallic Green. I almost left the Frog Black, it looks pretty good that way. More Coming...

Amazing Work! Thanks so much for sharing John...

Love the Speedster on the Pick Up!

Great Project! Real Nice Painting...

Thanks for the kind words Gene! So glad you like it...

Thanks Andy! Hope to start working on this one again soon...

PRIME TIME! Here is the Frog with a couple coats of Dupli-Color Filler/Primer. This Primer hides a lot of flaws. Did a little more sanding, looks pretty smooth... I re-scribed the door lines. I use a Needle Scribe first, then a larger scribe. I gently pull the Scribes in the lines and go over the lines several times. I used a Number 11 X-Acto blade to cut New Lines were necessary. Just a little more putty and sanding, and the Frog will be ready some Green! More Coming...

Thanks Ray!

Real Nice Slicing! Great Start...

Great Model Shop! Very Clean too...

Great Progress! Real Nice Detailing...

Looks Great! Shiny Paint & REAL Nice Detailing...

Thanks Gene! I think the Fire Frog will be Green with Orange Flame Decals...

FLYING FROGS!!! Here is the mock-up of Fire Frog flying off a Jump, over the Rocks! Here is another angle. There goes the Frog! The Fire Frog will be displayed both ways, Flying through the air or on its Big Wide Tires on the Ground. More Coming...

CLEAR ROD! I drilled a hole through the Bell Pan that lined up with the Frame Rail Hole and the Square Tube. The Clear Acrylic Rod fits through here. Instead of suspending the Frog Parallel with the Base. I decided to position the Frog on a Wild Angle. I drilled a hole and fit the Clear Rod in place. Then I glued the Rod against the inside of the Base. More Coming...

Looks Great! Real Nice Body Work & Paint...

FROG BASE! I am making a Display Base for the Fire Frog. This plastic base is from a Sea Quest Submarine Model. The Frog will be elevated above the base with 1/8th inch Acrylic Rod. This Acrylic Rod is almost Invisible! It will fit into the Square Tubing, mounted inside of the Frog. Then I drilled a hole in the Frame Rail for the Acrylic Rod. I located the mounting hole as near to the Center of the Frog as possible. Next I glued a length of Square Tubing over the Hole in the Frame Rail. Then I cut a little square piece of plastic and glued it on top of the Tubing. More Coming...

Looks Great in Black!

Great Painting James!
