Nosferatu Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Illusion I took a ’58 Tbird rear end and the body part that circled the interior of the Futura added a modified Corvette hood, the pontoons from a Formula One racing boat and scratch built wings. I also used many different parts to make the interior and of course mucho puttying and sanding.Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. I used a metallic silver basecoat and fogged the rear in flat black. Then I used a pearl green over that. The pearl green took lightly on the silver but got darker green when on the flat black.

Paul Payne Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Now THAT is creative- kit bashing at its best! Regarding is it a plane or a boat- maybe a ploat? or a boane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 NICE! This is very well done; love the concept, love the color, love the whole thing! It reminds me of something from one of the old Gerry Anderson series, like Thunderbirds, or Supercar. Thanks for sharing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 That's nuts! I love crazy boats and this is definitely a boat, albeit one from Star Wars! You did some outstanding work blending all those pieces together. Too cool. Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
