Thanks Vacformedhero,.....scalpel on its side is how I'm removing the bits

Im using Hycote Adhesion Aid & Bumper Primer......after that paint & SuperGlue can do their work

Good work Jaitea, it'll be more accurate that way for sure

steveo · Jan 3, 2015

Was curious about doing this myself, but not good with these parts. Is anyone going to be offering the replacement parts they've created for others to take on this option?

Thanks joberg......the mixture of 5ft &32" bits near the thruster plates just annoyed me,.....but it took me a while to work out the Hasbro ones were just too small

I've moulded & cast 2 of the triangular inserts so I can replicate them......the hexagonal insert on the front quarter I've built & will refine then make moulds of it.....the walls...dunno just yet

This is where I'm at with the thruster flaps,.....just trying to get them all the same:angry.......this is them just set in at the minute

Thanks for looking

Looking good. Good news, also.

Jaitea · Jan 7, 2015

Thanks Steveo,

I've kept on working on those thruster flaps:

Quite enjoyable....at the minute.....I'd have to do the underside also......but that can wait a bit:rolleyes

Thanks for looking

Impressive and INSANE amount of work you've put in so far.

crackerjazz · Jan 7, 2015

Wow that turned out really great!

Vacformedhero · Jan 8, 2015

Robn1 Every time I see your avatar i p#### myself laughing

rbeach84 · Jan 8, 2015

Again, very clean work with the scalpel, John. Are you using mild heat to help the plastic cut more easily?

andrewgould · Jan 8, 2015

Amazing work guys! I purchased one of these a few months ago and can't wait to get some time to get into enhancing it!

Thanks Andrew,....get stuck in

This piece is made up of tank wheels,.....maybe slightly smaller scale,....but I'll see what it'll look like surrounded with other greeblies

Primed & the thruster flaps done,...The 8 ribbed grills just set in

Thanks for looking

Scarecrow Joe · Jan 12, 2015

Jaitea, nice work. Any issues with gluing the styrene to the MF plastic?

Jaitea · Jan 12, 2015

No problems Scarecrow Joe,.....as long as the model has her Adhesion Aid coat on her.......wait....did I call her a model?

Heres a few of the photos like I posted before but taken with a better camera & light....sorry

Making this wee base for one of the Fuel drive pressure stabiliser things (the 4 vertical bits that go along the thruster flaps),.....when its done I'm gonna mould & cast it

I made one of these from a tank wheel & a Austin Mini wheel,.....moulded & cast it,.....the 8 rib vents just set in,....again 1 made...duplicates cast

This is a cast of one of the inserts,...this allows me to break the master apart so that I can use greeblies again for something further down the line.....still more to do to it though

Thanks again for looking

John
