Dodger Drivers!

I found these Seats in the Parts Box. I had to cut the bottoms off to make more headroom.

I am using Tamiya figures for the Dodger. Great Fit & Real Nice Detail too.

Here are the Drivers glued together. The Dodger is controlled by a center mounted Joystick. So either person can drive from either seat.

I feel like its going to need some sort of 2 lever operating system vs. a steering wheel, for its forward/backward motioning. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks Jesse!

Yes, it will have a Joystick... B)

Solar Power!

I am going to add a Solar Panel in the Dodgers Roof. I started by drawing the shape of the Panel on the Roof.

Then I lightly Scribed the Lines using a piece of Lexan Plastic for a guide. Next I scribed the Lines Deeper and Wider.

Here are the Lines after Sanding. This will be the New Solar Panel for the Electric Engines.

Flaming Orange!

After spraying one last coat of Primer I sprayed the Dodger with Tamiya Silver Leaf.

First time I used Tamiya Masking Tape, it's Great. I used it to mask off the bottom edge of the Body. Then I used Blue Masking Tape to cover the rest.

Next I sprayed on a few coats of Testors Flaming Orange. Here is a photo with the Tape removed.
