Ira Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) ENGINES-TOP SIDE! I only need part of the rear section from the top side of the Tomcat so I cut the front off and then removed the Rear Wings. I fit the top half of the Romulan Body to the top half of the Tomcat Body/Engines and Marked the area where they met. I cut the area out along the lines. This is just a rough cut, I will be fitting and cutting later, for the Best Fit! More Coming... Edited April 26, 2013 by Ira

lanesteele240 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 What i dont understand is how do you get so many awesome builds completed in a year. I cant find time to build a box stock car in the time you build one show stopper. Keep it up. I enjoy your builds.
cobraman Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Ira, I have no idea how you come up with these wild builds but I'm sure glad you do !
