SCI-FI INTERIOR!These parts from the AMT Pod Racer fit right into the Ferrari Door Panels. The Door and Bubble Controls, Speakers and Air Vents are all in the Door Panel Now.  I cut the Button Panel from the other Pod Racer Parts and glued it to the dashboard. Then I sanded the Gauge Area nice and smooth. Next I used Vallejo Flat Black and hand painted the Digital Display. I just started using this Vallejo Paint and it seems to level itself out flat, the Digital Display is very smooth...  Here are the AMT X-Wing Fighter Parts in place. The Air Vent was cut to fit between the Generators. This assembly includes Anti-Gravity Generators, Air Cleaning Engines and an Air Vent.  More Coming...

THE DRIVER!The Driver is from a Revell Indy Car Kit. I added a piece of plastic between the arms and his shoulders to make them wider. Now he can reach the Dual Joysticks.  The Seatbelt Decals worked Great! Nice Detail. The driver was painted Flat White with Blue Gloves and Shoes. A wash of "The Detailer" Black, was applied over the White and when it dried I sprayed him with Testors Dullcoat.  More Coming...

4.6 LITER-300+ HORSEPOWER!Got the Mustang GT Engine, Radiator and Oil Cooler in place.  I used the Intake System from the Mustang Kit, but I did have to reshape the Ducting to fit. After all of the small parts are attached, I'll go back to do touch-up painting.  More Coming...

REAR END!I found this Ferrari Transaxle and cut it down to fit the Frog. This will fit between the Moonscope Rear Axle Parts.  Here is the Moonscope Rear Axle. It was cut in half and positioned on either side of the Transaxle. This made the Moonscope Rear Axle wide enough for the Fire Frog. I added a section of Rocket Engine between the axle halves to fill it in.  The Shocks attach to the Moonscope Mounts on the body. The rods were attached to the underside later.  More Coming...

THE ROCKS!First I sprayed the Base with Dupli-Color Filler/Primer. Then I painted the whole Base with a Tan Acrylic. Next I applied a darker brown to the Rocks, just painting the highlights. I spread White Glue over the flat area of the Base and then poured Sand over the glued area.  Next I applied coat a "The Detailer" Black to the Rocks. After it dried I sprayed the Base with Testors Dullcoat. Last I spread some White Glue on the Base for the Grass. Then I sprinkled the Grass over the glued area. I get the Grass from the Railroad Department at the Hobby Shop.  More Coming...

HOT TIPS!I found these Exhaust Pipes in the AMT Silhouette Kit. They fit perfectly but the ends of the Pipes needed some support. I made supports from these little parts that I found in the AMT Star Wars Pod Racer Kit.  Rear View.  More Coming...
