Ira Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) CUTTIN' THE BUBBLE!!! I wanted to cut off the front of the Bubble Top and make that piece , part of the body. I used a strip of Blue Tape as a guide and, Carefully cut off the front of the bubble with a Kona Razer Saw. Here are the 2 sections of the Bubble... I glued the front piece of the Bubble in place on the body. The Bubble Top was used to position the piece. More Coming... Edited December 10, 2012 by Ira
Zarana-X Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Neat, it's got a Flash Gordon-esqe feel to it.
Ira Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 NOSE JOB!!! I cut a strip of plastic to fit between the body and the front piece from the Bubbletop. When glued in place this Piece will make the Nose a little more Streamlined.. Here is the Piece glued in place. I also cut 2 triangular shaped pieces of plastic that were glued between the Piece and the Body. After adding putty and doing a little sanding the Nose looks like this... Here is the Body with some primer sprayed on the area!
