Cookies! I'm starting on the Cockpit for RRRobot. I found a tray from a package of Cookies that should work just fine...  I cut the end off of the Cookie Tray and sprayed it with DupliColor Filler/Primer. I am also going to use part of this Seat that I found in a 12th Scale 57 Chevy Box.  More Coming...

Pilots Seat!I cut the top from the Chevy Seat and fit it to the Pilots Back & Head.  I added 2 strips of square Plastic Tubing to the front edge of the Pilots platform. This will make attaching to RRRobot easy. I also painted the Seat Back.  Here is the Pilot with the Seat Back attached.  More Coming...

A Car "A" Arm was added between the Sides and the Ball Tire.  Bullet Fuel Tanks were added next to the X-Wing Engines. Then I added 8 Weber Carbs from the AMT Double Dragster Kit.  More Coming...

Unpainting & a Wash!I tried painting the Lines or Hoses with a small brush and I messed it up. Then I tried a toothpick but that didn't work too well. So I cleaned up and touched up the mess. Next I tried removing the Silver Paint from the Lines with an X-acto Knife, that worked! The Blue Plastic shows through where I scraped off the paint.  Then I finished painting all of the details and applied a Black Wash from "The Detailer".  After the Wash dried I sprayed on a couple of coats of Testors Glosscote.  More Coming...
