My latest project built from a bunch of busted parts.
I decided to turn the Sea Ray into an actual plane instead of some weird submarine.

This is the first mock up.

After I attached the tale I decided to cut off the bulky rear engine.

A few of the modifications included removing four missile pegs and adding a new rear engine. I also used styrene to give the tail a more unique look.

First coat of black.

Getting closer to the finish.

Pretty much finished

Full landing gear.

Glorious.

Do you have a specific technique for reinforcing the build where two large parts meet, like the body and the tail here?

Oh that's very fancy.

Glue. Lol

No it’s about having good contact points. If it’s a part you’ve cut you also have to make sure it’s perfectly straight. I also put a styrene tube inside the tail.

A) I love it.
B) Man, what a wasted opportunity to name it the Iron Scepter.

Awesome as always - your ability to mash up parts into something with such clean lines that looks like a factory product (better, actually) never ceases to amaze me.

This is another amazing build. Flawless design and execution.

I have a bin full of broken vehicles cause of your builds. Every time I see one I open the bin look at it, try to think of something, then put it away.

Thanks man. Regarding the names, honestly they just don’t mean a lot to me at this point. I used to love naming things but now I often just run with whatever I think of first. You can call it that though, that’s cool, or I can call the pilot that as it didn’t have a name.

You’ll get there one day. Just start building something. Often what I do is just find a bunch of random stuff and just start building.

You already know what I'm going to say so I just won't say anything.... because I'm SPEECHLESS!

Looks fancy!
The gold trim makes the whole thing POP!

As if those parts were meant for each other.
Cool look, kinda Hunter/Killer from Terminator.
