Beautiful! Very Realistic...

Great Woodwork Richard!

SIX BIG ONES! I cut 6 lengths of Plastic Tubing and then added a circle of plastic to each end. With a little Sanding and Grinding I got them to fit in the Taillight holes. Next I glued the Tubing to the ends of the Engines. Here is a quick mock-up showing the Engines in place! More Coming...

BOXING THE BOTTOMS! Before attaching the tops of the Legs to the Body I need to fill in the Gaps On the Bottom Sides. I cut a length of plastic strip and glued it in place. Then I cut it to fit up against the Body. More Coming...

Probably Taillights...

Most of the Photos are larger than the Model... It's only 5 or 6 inches tall.

Great Builds!

Nice Build!

Looks Great!

GOING UP! I am going to use a 25th scale Lowrider Wheel for a Vertical Thruster. I traced a circle with the circle template. I started the hole with an X-acto Knife. I used a Reamer to make the hole larger. Then I used a Sanding Drum, by hand, to smooth it out a bit. Here is the Thruster in place. I'll put a black wash on it later... More Coming...

Looks Pretty Fast to me too!

That Would Be HOT!!!

Great Project John!

I Think You're Right!

Nice Engine!

Great Arms Joe!

Thanks for the offer Lee! I'll let you know if I need anything...

FINS! I decided to add Fins to the Wings. I cut a Fin Template from paper and when I got the shape right I traced the Template on to Plastic. Then I cut out 2 Fins with an X-acto Knife and a Straight Edge. Next I sanded the Edges smooth. Here are the Fins glued in place with Zap-A-Gap. Front View. More Coming...

Looks like it will be between 5 and 6 inches tall.

Thanks Jason! These windows remind me of WW2 USA Bomber Windows...

Thanks for the Suggestion Andy!

MORE POWER!!! The X-Wing Engines just weren't BiG enough for the Vette. I decided to switch to larger Pod Racer Engines instead. I think 6 Engines from 3 Pod Racer Kits will be enough... I cut the Rear Ends off all 6 Pod Racer Engines. I'll use those Engine Sections for the Vette Jet! I found some large diameter Plastic Tubing to mount the Engines with. I cut 6 lengths of tubing and fit them in the Taillight Holes. Then I cut 6 round pieces of plastic and glued them on the ends of the tubes. This should make Engine Mounting easy. More Coming...

Looks Great Mike!

Thanks for the Suggestions John!

The Dremel Tool & the X-acto Knife both get a Workout! My 2 favorite tools...
