GREEN & GREEBLIES!I started adding color to the Raptor. I am using 4 different shades of Green Acrylic Paints so far. I'll be adding Metal Metallic Colors after I finished with the Greens. This is Fun Stuff, Kind of like "Paint By Numbers".  Adding More Greeblies! I cut the top of the thin strips, on the backs of the legs, and pulled them open and then slid the Springs in place. Old Gears from clocks were then glued on the inside legs with a chrome caps added in the centers. (Greeblies are Fun Details that you add to Sci Fi Models.)  Even More Greeblies! I also added Radiator Hoses, Ala Kart Gear Shift Levers, Brass Gears and some old Green Glass Rhinestones.  More Coming...

EGG PIPES!I started to paint Green Highlights on the Egg...  Next I decided to add a couple Pipes to the Egg. I cut 2 lengths of Aluminum Tubing and then 2 more one size smaller. I started the Pipe Holes with an X-Acto Knife and enlarged them with a reamer.  Here are the Pipes glued in place...  More Coming...

EGG EYE!I measured to find Front - Center, a good place to add a Sensor...  Found a Glass Rhinestone for the Sensor. I drilled a hole for the Sensor with a Number 11 blade in an X-acto knife. Then I trimmed the edges of the hole on an angle so the Sensor would set flat. I painted the area before attaching the Sensor. Green Acrylic Paint and a Green Sharpie were used to do the graphics.  And maybe a little Green in the back...  More Coming...

GOING UP!The Egg needed some Lift, so I decided to add a Vertical Thruster! Starting with A Zinger Wheel, I cut most of the back off. Then I sanded the back smooth.  Here it is in place...  More Coming...
