Step 19The Devil is in the Details
Note- It is now Devil's Night. Still lots to do.
Some large nuts were hot glued to the front wheels (garbage can lids) after painting to give it a more substantial look. I made some rear shock absorbers (that flank the rocket engine) by screwing some old tubing to a length of pvc. The spar mounts which attached to the rear body panels to support the wings were from the packaging corners that came in the box of my MacBook Pro. They are pictured (before being spray painted copper) with the plastic detail parts for the top of the wings.
A pair of windshield wipers purchased from the local salvage yard for $10 added an aggressive, realistic look when attached to the front window panels on a 45 degree angle. The last picture shows a trunk load of the details that were to go on the prop.
