Ira Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Made some progress on the SKULL Hand... I cut down the length of the fingers, then I coated the hand with "Aleene's Tacky Glue". 12 hours later I made Knuckle "bumps" on the fingers with a toothpick and dots of Tacky Glue. After the glue dried I painted Hand and SKULL with white acrylic paint. The paint on the hand dried and cracked all over. I like the cracks! Then I sprayed the hand and SKULL with Testors Dullcote. Next I'll try some a little dry brushing and shading on the SKULL and hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modellpularn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm getting images of "Achmed the dead terrorist"..... You know, Jeff Dunham's skeleton puppet. And you put the fun aspect into modeling with this build, Ira! I think everyone should try something like this once in a while. Get away from the superdetailed umpteen year builds that never get finished. Just sits in its box. I know I have some.... But maybe its time to just boot the detailing, and finish the suckers!!?

W-409 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Wow, great! Those eyes look good. I like this build very much, that bodywork is great. Paint looks good too. Where are you going to fit that Led set up on finished model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 This is what is left of the Z-28 Chassis Plate after narrowing it and making room for the LED set-up. I cut 3 pieces of plastic to fit between the Chassis Plate sides. This will increase the glueing surface of this piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I cut off the part of the inside wheel halves that stuck out past the tires. This reduced the width of the rear track by about 3/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 SKULLY is Ready to Race! I used "The Detailer" and lightly covered the Skull & hand with several light coats of black thinned with water. I made the Roll Cage with flexable plastic rod. The Roll Cage really adds a lot to the interior, I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro73 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It is really looking good so far! I like the LED's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Here is the modified Deals Wheels Chassis Plate in place. I added a piece of white plastic tubing to hold the rear axle. The black areas will all be touched up before mounting the tires. The wires for the LED's go through the drivers seat into the Chassis Plate. I was able to fit most of the LED set-up into the engine compartment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 It is really looking good so far! I like the LED's. Thanks Brian! This is the first time I've used the LEDs, they work well, I think I'll probably use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
