Ira Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 SPACE BANDIT! Let the Stars Shine In!!! Expanding the windshield & rear window!
01blueedge Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I got the body painted the wheels detailed and tires sanded. I also have the motor done and in the frame and some of the interior almost done. I still have to add all the decals put the dash in, a couple more roll cage bars and put the rear axle in heres the pics. the tape on the roll cage is holding it together while the glue dries it was warped up
Rob McKee Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 There sure are some great models being built on this thread. I couldn't get started on the painting stage of my 3 day model until 4 this afternoon. I am pleased with the outcome of the paint on the body. I have almost finished painting every piece so tomorrow should just be assembly and decals.
Lunajammer Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 SPACE BANDIT! As much as I'm enjoying watching all of these builds from the mezzanine, Ira, I think this is my favorite. Very fun, very clever. The rest of you guys are making this a very compelling thread.
mrm Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 My plan was to have the clear coat curing right now, but because I noticed some uneven spots that miraculously changed color while wet sanding the paint earlier today, I had to respray the whole thing. So now while I am waiting for it to dry AGAIN, I have time to post some pictures I took earlier during the build. First the body received an extended tail in the form of a nice smooth roll pan together with the inner fenders from a Revell '32 5 window The frame got its horns cut off, a crossmember from the 5 window and scratchbuilt engine mounts. Also the tranny support was moved foreward The dash was filled A new rear end was made from some styrene rod, the 5 window shock mounts, quickchange from the Red Baron and the the frontmost end cut off from the 9" from the 5 window. The radius rods were taken from a Testors metal model T and were molded in the back of the shock mounts. The whole thing later got stripped from the chrome and received my first attempt at using Alclad
mrm Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 The floor received some flocking and a set of PE pedals. the shifter received a nice red eye. The dash was painted (needed touch up at the time of picture but is fixed now) the PE panel included some black gsuges printed on clear acetate, but it looked just like black circles, so I got some printed on white paper that I cut one by one to place the way I would want them in my car. The DM steering wheel received some clear red wash to make the detail pop up and some PE keys and keychain are prepared to hang from the PE starter in the steering column. The side interior panels are painted too and already received some PE hardware, but I did not take pictures yet. Here is the body and frame right before I painted them the secont time
ROB213 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 GREAT WORK ON ALL YOUR BUILDS GUYS!!!!! i got the day off tomorrow/today i stayed up late and finished the interior check it out... now i just got to chrome foil the body and im done! i hope
Dr. Cranky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 AMAZING WORK! All right, we are headed for home now. Midnight tonight is just around the corner. Stay tuned in for more. Take your vitamins and eat more scrapple sandwiches. It's time to wrap these puppies up. Good luck to everyone!

kennb Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) It is the same brand I use on all my models, It is rattle can. I have done a little work. There is no clear ont he car yet since i need to redo the white. I am also going to sand the purple and reshoot it. I see a bad spot on the front fender that needs help badly. Guess I was really blurry eyed last night when I shot it. i will try to get more done as the day goes on. These will give everyone of where I am on it. KennB Edited January 16, 2012 by kennb

hotrod59f100 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hey Kenneth what color purple did you use?
Rob McKee Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I have been up early and working away. Decals are done, most of the small parts are painted and ready for assembly. I am just finishing of the chassis with a little detailing. Once that is done it will on to the engine for detailing and wiring. Rob
kennb Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) It is Krylon rattle can Rich Plum........ the picture does not do it justice, it looks a little washed out. KennB Edited January 16, 2012 by kennb
Rob McKee Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Doctor Cranky, that is one mean looking machine. Looking forward to seeing everyone done by the end of today.
