Ira Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Red and Silver! I finished sanding the Body so I gave it one last coat of Primer. Then I sprayed the whole Body with Testors Diamond Dust. Then I turned it over and sprayed the Bottom with Tamiya Mica Red. Here is the Top Side featuring the Diamond Dust without the Mica Red. Kind of looks like it's floating above the table... A quick Mock Up of the Engines in place! More Coming... Edited July 21, 2014 by Ira

blunc Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 that's a lot of engines Ira, I think you'll need to upgrade the inertial dampers.
Ira Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Tribal Flames! These Flames are from the Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street Kit. I also added a couple Slixx Decals including the "Dynamic Speed Center" Logo Decals. After the Decals dried I sprayed on a few coats of Testors Glosscote. More Coming... Edited July 22, 2014 by Ira
Ira Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Paint It Black! I hand painted most of the Interior with Vallejo's Flat Black. The unpainted areas will be covered by the Door Panels. The inner Front Grill area was also painted Black. More Coming...

Then I painted the backs of the Seats Flat Black. Next I applied Silver Stripping Tape between the Red and Black. Then I brushed on a light coat of The Detailer, Black Wash. After the Wash dried I sprayed on some Testors Dullcote. More Coming...

Ira Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Big Heat Sink! I found this part in the MPC Star Wars Snow Speeder. I am going to use it as a Heat Sink to help dissipate the Heat from the Six Engines. It will be mounted between the two top Engines. I had to cut a little off each end to fit the Vette. I used strips of plastic to fill the gaps on the sides. More Coming...

Ira Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 Vette Door Panels! I cut the Door Panels from two 1985 Corvette Interiors. Next I started to fit the Door Panels to the Vette Jet Interior. The front sections needed to be cut quite a bit to fit in place. This photo shows the Front Sections Before and After modifications. I glued Plastic Strips to the bottoms of the Door Panels to add height. More Coming...
Ira Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 Black, Red and Silver! I added putty and sanded the Panels Smooth. Then I sprayed them with Flat Black Primer. I Masked off the areas that will be Black and Sprayed the rest with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Then I Sprayed the Silver areas with Tamiya Mica Red. Here they are with the Masking Tape removed. I also used Bare Metal Foil on the areas as shown. More Coming...

sjordan2 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 After avoiding this topic because of lack of interest in the subject matter, I finally took a look and I'm very impressed. This whole thing is extremely clever. Your techniques, your descriptions and photos are very illuminating, and I'll keep following.
