Ira Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Blackout! I decided to add some Metal Mesh to the front & Rear Vents. I started by Flattening the Detail in the Front Vents with a Dremel Tool. I wish I had done this before I painted the Body, because the Dremel Bit snagged and started to move towards the outside of the Body. Fortunately I stopped it before it caused any serious damage, just scratched the paint a little and knocked one Engine out. I'll glue the Engine back in & touch it up the scratches later. Notice I glued the Cylon Raider Grill in the Corvette Grill Opening. Here are the Rear Vents painted Flat Black. Here are the Front Vents painted Flat Black. More Coming...

Ira Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Brass Mesh! I found this Metal Mesh in an Art Supply Store. I think it will go well with the Purplelisious Paint. First I cut off some Brass Mesh so it will be easier to work with. Then I started to make File Card Templates to fit in the Vents. Next I held the Templates on to the Mesh and cut them to size.

lanesteele240 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The pod racer has no shortage of those lines. You could put lines on everything if you had a few extra kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Stretching the Mesh! I started by cutting 2 lines that connected the 2 grooves, so now I have a Triangular Opening, sort of. Next I cut a small piece of Brass Mesh an Pushed & Shaped it through the Opening until I got this Real Nice Shape. Then I glued it in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label & Hot Glue. More Coming...

Ira Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Wires, Clips & Lights! I drilled 2 Holes for the Spotlights. Then I cut 2 lengths of Aluminum Tubing to fit in the Holes.
