[glow=red,2,300]FATTENING UP THE HOG!!![/glow] I started Painting the Hog and realized that He was Too Thin in the Cheeks! I added some Squadren Putty to each Cheek. The Putty works well with the Squlpey. I think that's enough Fat, Now I'll get back to Painting again...

[glow=red,2,300]BiG PIPES For HOG VETTE!!![/glow] I made the Headers for Hog Vette from Thin-Wall Plastic Tubing. I cut 8 pieces and cleaned up the ends with an X-Acto Knife and Sandpaper. I painted inside the tubes with Flat Black. I made a Mounting Strip from Plastic and glued it in place. When I glue the Headers in place this will sepparate them from the body. I cut a couple more strips to cover the backs of the tubes and glued them in place. [glow=red,2,300]These are Ready To Go![/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]HOG VETTE BELLY!!![/glow] I Cut a Belly Pan out of Sheet Plastic and Painted it Black. Then I Cut Strips of Plastic and Glued them to the Inside of the Body. These make Mounts for attaching the Belly Pan. Here's what it looks like in place... [glow=red,2,300]HOG BELLY PAN...[/glow] ;D

PAINTIN' The PiG!!! I started with a coat of Dupli Color White Primer, then Brushed on some Tan Acrylic. A wash of "The Detailer - Black was then appllied. Next I painted all of the White Parts. I used the Slixx "Air Hog" Decals for a guide when I painted the Hogs Head. Using a small fine brush I painted the Black outlines on the Hog. Hey! I found some little Red, Round Glass beads I can use for eyes!

[glow=red,2,300]CHECKIN' THE FIT!!![/glow] Found the pefect spot for the Hog Head, too far back and His Ears stick out the window, too far forward and His Snout hits the windshield. The Interior Plate attaches to the Chassis Plate and then it all goes in place together.
