spring cloning cleanout
Hi Guys,
Well, it is finally time for me to finish up all of those cloning projects I have had sitting around for some time... I know that If do not finish these now, and I start building some new rockets, they will never be done!! I just applied the Allis Chalmers orange to my Rogue clone. I will decal it tonight. The Avenger is in it's final primer/sand/primer stages and I just worked out a decal for the roll pattern. My Drifter needs two more fins painted blue, then decaling. I am also re-building an old BT-55 V2 clone that landed on my car last time....This was my first BAR clone and it now sports a new NC tip, and a few fins have been fixed. It is in primer now, awaiting final sanding. I believe that I will go with US Operaton Sandy for the color scheme. (Launch from the deck of the carrier Midway) My SPEV-D has been all gloss white since the fall, and will be getting the black portions painted soon. It sports, D power, seperation at the BT-60/TA 6052 transition, and six fins to make it look more like a Sat 1b. What else... Oh yeah, my Constellation is all gloss white with a bright red NC. It needs one fin painted black, and decaling. Not a clone, but my Big Betty in pearlescant yellow and green, will soon be getting a green martian pin-up chick decal. I will post some pics as soon as I have something worthy to take a pictuer of!! Phred

Well, I did a p**s poor job at masking the drifter... I will wait a few days and try to salvage it, otherwise I will ned to re-coat with gloss white and start again... :-(
I printed the decals for the Rogue, drew up a set of checkered pre-damon style decals for my X-ray clone: http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/rock...66/66est20.html I also printed a custom set of decals for the Big Betty with pin-up betty-martian. I gave the QUEST Intruder, and my Sandma BT-56 Sptint good coat of gloss white. It is sunny today, so I hope to get some more painting and some decaling in. Phred

Nice! Maybe now I'll be inspired to finish a couple of my projects.
Thanks, Randal

Did you create your own version of the roll patterns, or did you have an original pattern to work from? That's a nice looking paint scheme, too. You say this was based on the late 60's catalog pictures. Was yellow / black an 'official' combination for the X-Ray? It's impossible to tell from the catalog pages... Beautiful model...

Nice. I've always been a fan of the Rogue. I had a buddy who had one in 1977, but he insisted on calling it the Rouge. |
