Wagoneer81 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 OK, who let Ira get ahold of a knife, again?!? Ira, you are a genious! I'll be watching this one, closely!
Ira Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 MAKE IT SMOOTH!!! I used 4 Plastic Strips of to blend the Top Pieces with the body. Zap-A-Gap, Green Label Glue holds the Strips in place. Here are the Strips in place. I cut away the excess from the rear after the Strips were glued in... More Coming...
Ira Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 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. Thanks Gary! I have been building many kinds of models most of my life, so I have had a lot of practice. Since I have learned how to fix the modeling mistakes I make and make less mistakes, I have been building much faster...
Ira Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 Ira, I have no idea how you come up with these wild builds but I'm sure glad you do ! Thanks Ray!
Ira Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) MORE POWER!!! Two Big Jet Engines just aren't enough Power for the Stingray. I'm going to add Two More Engines, Clone Wars - Sublight Style Engines on the ends of the Wings. I started with two F-18A Hornet Jet Fighter parts, I think they are Gastanks or Bombs... I want the New Engines to line up with the body, so I marked a cut line that looked pretty close to what I wanted. Here is the wing after the cut... More Coming... Edited May 2, 2013 by Ira
Ira Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 Ira, you are king of the kitbashers for sure. Thanks Ray! Yeah, I Love Kitbashing...
Ira Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 ENGINES IN PLACE... I fit the Engines in place and glued them in. Then I trimmed off the excess from the mounts. Here is the Side View... More Coming...
Ridge Rider Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 That's coming along nicely Ira. The fit of all these parts is pretty close-great vision on this project-even if it's "in the cellar" at the bottom of the page.
Ira Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 Who knew the romulans had actually made something beautiful! Wow that is an awesome concept! Thanks Nick!

Ira Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 MORE FINS!!! The F14 Tomcat Jet Engines are set up to have 2 Tail Fins, I'm going add another! I started by removing the top from one of the Tomcat Fins. The Fin Tops will be used later... Then I measured to find the Center line on the rear and made a Fin Slot with a Cut Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. Here is the Center Fin in place, after a little Sanding and Shaping... More Coming...
Ira Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 SHAVE IT OFF! I used Half-Round Plastic Strip to fill the "Snap-In" Slots. Then I removed all of the Romulan Markings from the top of the Stingray and applied some Filler/Primer. Next I drilled a hole in the underside and glued a length of Plastic Tubing in place. This Tubing will make the hole for the Steel Mounting Rod. More Coming...
Ira Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 That's coming along nicely Ira. The fit of all these parts is pretty close-great vision on this project-even if it's "in the cellar" at the bottom of the page. Thanks Steve!
Custom Mike Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Ira, what meds are you on, I really need to get some for myself! You are the undisputed kit-bashing KING!!!!
Ira Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 3 FINS!!! I cut the top off of the second Tailfin and shaped both Fin Tops as shown. Here are the small Tailfins in place... Time for a little more primer and sanding, then maybe some Color! I am thinking I might paint it Blue Metalflake and Silver with White Tribal Flames... More Coming...
Ira Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 Ira, Another cool project. bobthehobbyguy Thanks Bob!
DPink Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Thus is amazing. Everything blends in so nicely, the curves just flow together so nicely!!!
Ira Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 ALIEN SUPERCHARGER!!! Stingray Needs More Power! So I am making an Alien Supercharger for the Jet Engines. I started with 2 Wings from an AMT Droid Fighter. I cut the ends from one side of each... Then I glued them together. Here is the Alien Supercharger in place! More Coming...
