Ira Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 No matter what the theme is on this, it's gonna be cool, it has no other choice! Thanks Mike!
DavidChampagne Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I may have missed it, but, I am wondering about how you plan to paint it.My two cents worth: every time I look at it, I envision a "Sox & Msrtin" type paint scheme.Can't wait to see it finished.

Ira Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) INTERIOR STRIPS!!! First I made the rear of the Interior with two 5/16" Plastic Strips on each side. This was easier than trying to cut a template add fit one piece of plastic on each side. Then I glued a 5/16" Strip on each side of the Cockpit... The strips were positioned to add a little more room for the Engines! More Coming... Edited February 25, 2013 by Ira
Ira Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 INTERIOR SIDES... I cut 2 side walls from sheet plastic and glued them in place. This will leave just enough room for the BiG Engines! The fronts of the Interior Sides were attached to the Intake Shafts to complete them. The Sides were cut so that they fit up against the Underbody tightly. More Coming...
Ira Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Wow Ira this is a great idea! With all the cutting and fitting it is definitely my kind of build! Hmmm I have a robotech model downstairs.............gears are now turning. Keep up the great work I am for sure watching this! Thanks Ken!
Ira Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 If I may be so bold... This fantastic build screams for a Red Bull Racing paint scheme. Thanks for the suggestion Keith!
Ira Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 SIDEWINDER DASH!!! The dashboard from Revells Dodge Sidewinder will be perfect for Pegasus! Just have to cut a little here... Then I turned it up side down and carved away a little more, to add some legroom... Here it is up-side down and carved to fit, perfect for Pegasus! More Coming...
Ira Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 i agree with Keith Pegasus needs some wings redbull wings that is Thanks for the suggestion Robert!
Ira Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 You don't know me. And this is crazy! But your model skills... ARE AMAZING!!!! This is unreal!! Like many others have said, to have your imagination with modeling skills would lead to never ending fun. Heck, by using a sharpie on my last model I thought I had entered into a new frontier. Compared to this, I'm still on the porch. Very nice work!! Can't wait for the end product. Thanks for the kind words James...
Ira Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 MOUNTING THE DASH... I traced the edge of the dashboard on to the body. By cutting this area out, I will be able to mount the dash about 1/4" forward. Here it is in place!
LacrosseBoss Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I almost cheered when I loaded the next pages of this topic and saw (1) the engines and (2) the rear wings, especially after you teased us beforehand. What an incredible project and it is turning out incredible. I'm following along so I don't miss a single step.
Ira Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 I may have missed it, but, I am wondering about how you plan to paint it. My two cents worth: every time I look at it, I envision a "Sox & Msrtin" type paint scheme. Can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for the suggestion David! I am thinking about Silver with Blue stripes and Gold Decals, but I'm not sure yet...
Ira Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) AERO SEAT!!! The seat is from the Monogram Aerotech kit. I used several strips of plastic to add arms, front, bottom, rear and sides... Here is the dash after a little sanding and filing. Edited April 9, 2013 by Ira
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Ira, Like the dash it really works for this. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Henchmen4Hire Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 This looks like the outlandish kind of hover-car designs I make with LEGO, really cool to see you make a realistic representation. I hope you inspire people to make more of these!
David G. Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Wow, you just keep knockin' em out of the park Ira! David G.
