Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) McSCAREN!!! McSCAREN will be a Futuristic GTP/DW CAR-Toon Racer with 3 Engines! Planning to use Body Parts from the Deals Wheels "McLapper" and the ZZZZZZZ-28 to make a Scary All-Out Racing Body. I'm building this Futuristic Fun Racer for the CAR-Toons Contest. Should Be FUN! More Coming... Edited January 23, 2015 by Ira
Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) 3 ENGINES! I am going to use the Big HEMI Engine Block from the Vette Zinger Kit and then I am going to use the Double Superchargers from the Pop Corn Wagon on top of the HEMI. 2 Big Jet engines from a 12" X-Wing Fighter are going to back up the Supercharged HEMI. More Coming... Edited December 22, 2014 by Ira
Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Saving Old Bodies! Instead of cutting up 2 Vintage Kits, I am going to use 2 Used DW Bodies I picked up. I found this Drivers Head in the parts box, but I'm still looking for a better Head... I used Scotch Tape to remove the old Decals and then I sanded the Body down a little. I marked 2 lines along the edge of the Fenders for Fender Cutting Lines. The plan is to cut these Fenders off and fit them to the McLapper Body. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Cutting It Up! I used a Cut-Off Wheel in the Dremel Tool to cut the fenders off the ZZZZZ-28 Body. I think I will cut the Front and Rear Fenders apart, so that I can attach them to the McLapper Body separately. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Nose Job! The front bottom off the Body is attached to the Chassis. I think I'll change that... So I cut the front Chassis Section off and attached it to the Body. Top View. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Lower... I decided to cut a 1/4 inch section from the Chassis so I can Lower the McSCAREN a little. Before I did any cutting I glued a temporary brace inside the Chassis with Zap-A-Gap. Using a Cut-Off Wheel, I cut the Center Section as close as I could. Then I cut 1/4 inch from the Center Section and glued it back in place. Here is the Top Side after I removed the Temporary Brace. I should be able to lower McSCAREN Now! More Coming...
Danno Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Strapping in for the ride! This is gonna be great.
Ira Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Vents! I'm going to add several Vents to the McSCAREN. These Plastic Stairs will work just fine. I cut a length of Stairs and used it the mark the areas to be cut out. I cut the areas out with a Drill Bit and a Cut-Off Wheel. After a little cutting and sanding, I got a pretty good fit, so I glued the first 2 Vents in place with Zap-A-Gap. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 More Vents! I decided to add Vents in the rear too. First cut the Vents then mark the Body Vent Areas to be cut out. Next cut out the Body Vent Areas and glue the Vents in. Here they are glued in place. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 Verrrry interrrresting . I like that mod ! Thanks Bob!
A.R.C. Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I always enjoy watching these creations fall out of your head and into reality.
Ira Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Another wild creation taking shape. Thanks Bob! Yeah, it's kind of Fun seeing how they evolve....
Ira Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Double Vents! I needed to fill a different shaped area with the Vents. So I cut 2 lengths of Stairs for this one. Then I glued them together and cut out an area for them. Here they are in place. Here is the McScaren Body with most of the Vents in place. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Strapping in for the ride! This is gonna be great. Thanks Dan!
Ira Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 McScaren Rear End! The used McLapper body didn't have a Rear End. So I borrowed a Rear End from a complete kit and traced the shape on sheet plastic. After a little more trimming and fitting I got the Rear End to fit pretty good. Next I cut a length of strip plastic and bent the ends down a little. Then I glued it in place. Next I cut a length of thick strip plastic and glued it in the gap as shown. Here is the Rear End after some more sanding. More Coming...
Ira Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Need More Vents! I cut a couple lengths of Stairs for the rear. Then I marked off 2 areas to be cut out. I cut out the areas Then I used a sanding board to make a real nice fit on the Vents. When I get a Tight Fit, I put the Vents in place and they don't fall out. Then I apply Zap-A-Gap to the Vents on the inside the Body. This makes a nice clean bond that is east to clean up. More Coming...
DrGlueblob Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 You're my kinda modeler, Ira. (Big ol' thumbs-up)..
Ira Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Rocket Slot! I'm drawing a Slot for the Jet Engines to fit through. Next I cut it out with a Dremel Tool. Rear View! More Coming...
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Hice work Ira. Looking forwardcto seeing more.
Ira Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 More Power! I need more room to mount the X-Wing Jet Engines. So I added a piece of sheet plastic on the back of the Chassis. Then I added a strip along the bottom. Next I glued a piece of sheet plastic over the strip. Now the angle is right for mounting the Jet Engines. More Coming...
