Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Eagle 5 - Spaceballs PC

Another update coming tonight

 

Woohoo

 

love this mod. sweet

 

So, here's this thin aluminum leg that came with the Weber grill I originally bought to obtain R2D2's head.



I pounded it in to an oval shape as it is in the movie.





I finished sanding the bondo I applied earlier.



The area where the wings are attached to the winnebago go over the edge....



So I folded them under with a hammer.



And attached the engines.



More bondo, sanding, cutting and paint to come.

 

simply awesome. a great mod baded on a great movie by one of the greatest comdey directors ever!

 

I started some patch work on the wings. LOTS more to do.

 

haha, I remember the beginning of this one back in CMG.

keep it up.

 

Here comes all the major Bondo-ing. I will ad several layers to the wings to make them thicker and smooth-er.

 

New toy!

 

I like where this one is going. Im glad to see you keeping up with this mod.
Looks tight

 

As usual, I like to add a coat of paint when nearly done sanding to find all the small areas that need to be filled in. Needless to say, I found some.

 

I had to rebondo some of the holes.



After another quick primer, it looks like I'll have to bondo. . . . . .again.

 

yup it's a lot of bondo-work, but the wings are starting to look great. Will be nice when finished!

 

I have this Mesh from the transformer of an old Tandy CoCo



I cut and bent them into 3D triangles



Then added them to the wings



And I painted them to match

 

HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Lovin it! keep it up bro! this kicks ash!!!

w0000t!

 

That mesh works PERFECT! I'm loving the details as they appear!

 

So the mobo will be in the back



I had to use two stand offs together to get the height that I need.



I then had to hold them in place on the bottom with nuts.



Here's before...



And immediately after. I obviously still have to make it look clean.

 

Oh, yeah. That's gonna look good.

Kinda hard to tell, will you have room to put the bumper back on?

 

Yes I will.

 

I cannot find the IO plate so I bought this mesh garbage can for $4



I cut a little piece out



Then cut out the IO ports



Now it's getting painted.
