ORGAN PIPES!These Pipes remind me of the Pipes on a Circus Organ. I decided to add them to the Futuray. I started by grinding down the taillights nice and flat.  First I cut ten 1/2" lengths of 3/16" Aluminum Tubing. Then I sanded off the aluminum burrs and cleaned the inside of the ends with an X-acto #11 Blade. I set up the tubes up against the rear end and glued the two inside tubes together first. Then I glued the next two tubes to those and then the next two tubes and so on...  Next I trimmed the backs of the Pipes on an angle with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. I test fit the Pipes and then Sanded the Pipes down some more untill I had a Great Fit!  Here is how the Pipes will look when glued in place!  More Coming...

SCOOPS!!!I bought 2 boxes of vintage Styline Custom Parts a few years ago and every once in a while I find just the "Right" part in these boxes. I added the Rectangular Scoop in the middle first. Then I added the 2 smaller Scoops, one on each side.  I added these 2 Little Scoops right behind the Bubbletop.  These long Side Scoops were added next...  The Last Scoop was added on the bottom.  More Coming...

I marvel at your assembly line and creativity. While most of us worry about our large stash of kits (that we might not build in this lifetime) you have found the answer, use 3 or more kits to get the vehicle done. Your ability to "see" the final "vision" is amazing. Please don't stop.
I have one suggestion, thin clear acrylic rod to support your flying machines.
Cheers Eh!

I used to Save all of my Best model kits and parts, then I realized if I don't build these now, I may never build them. So now I go ahead and use any parts I need for my model products and I don't worry about collecting anymore... |
