So many scoops! Great job so far Ira. Any ideas for paint yet? I would use a nice turquoise.
I painted the Futuray with Metalic Turquoise Enamel, just waiting for the paint to dry... |

IT'S DRY!!!I painted the body with Metallic Turquoise Enamel. A week later the paint is dry! I think these Silver Scallop Decals might look good on the Futuray...  More Coming...

PLASTIC SURGEON!Seating in the FUTURAY is much more reclined than the Futura, so some modifications are needed! I cut the backs of the Man's knees with a razor saw, just enough so I could bend them forward. I separated the Woman's left foot from her right leg and then I cut the back of the right knee.  I fit them in the interior and then I glued the knees in the new positions.  Next I trimmed the knees to shape, added putty and sanded them smooth...  More Coming...

PAINTING THE PEOPLE!I stuck the people on chop sticks with 2-sided tape. The sticks make it easy to hold the figures while painting. Then I sprayed them with white lacquer primer.  I used water-based acrylics to paint the figures. Then I sprayed them with Dull Coat.  I used "The Detailer" Black Wash, diluted a little with water, on the figures. This brings out the details, like in the folds in the clothes or skin...  More Coming...

LAST FEW DETAILS...Well the Futuray is almost Finished! I painted the interior with Water-Based Acrylics. I was so happy when I dropped a wet brush on the wing and the white splash just wiped off with water!  I added a Wide Screen Monitor where the steering wheel shaft used to be. The Monitor is made from a License Plate Frame, with the recessed area painted black. I think the passengers are on auto-pilot now...  The Bubbletop is my favorite part in this kit. Here it is the after I applied Bare Metal Foil. Finishing the last few details on the Futuray!  Finished Photos Coming Soon...
