Gasser update, slow going, and normally do not get into graphics, but something about this build....I just couldn't resist. Hope its not over the top. Got the radiator installed, built the master brake cylinder, added some yellow glass and those graphics. Oh and buffed it out. Lots left to do.

Yes, going to try and start the dash today. Waiting on a couple parts I ordered for the interior.

Nothing to be embarrassed about, joe, most of the scale accessories on my 1/6 Jeep are from the dollhouse section of Michael's

I've been quietly watchin' this one, looks like another Masterpiece!! This is my kind of "Performance" Art. ;)

joe122 · 02-15-2016, 06:58 PM

Thank you for all the kind words guys.....very much appreciated! Little Falcon Gasser update, tackled the dash, built an air shifter, switch panel, mounted the driver seat and bolted in the 5 pt harness.

Well, I came up with this as the release lever for the parachute. Seems to work.....I accidentally deployed the chute while installing it!

With all this effort and detail you are putting into this build you are going to have a driver. Wouldn't be complete without that. I thought the chute pack was just for show nice that it actually works.

Think your right, just haven't added action figures before. Will see if I can find a driver, good idea, Thanks.

So, after making the air shifter, I realized that it needed a solenoid and Co2 bottle. Here is what I wound up with, also added the button to trigger it on the shift handle. Installed the shift cable as well.

congrats it's perfect....

I see you went a little much on buffing as I notice the white styrene showing through on the fender and rear quarter wheel wells. or you didn't put 5 coats of paint on. just a pointer. maybe touch it up.

this is an amazing build. I wish there were more of these... love it! keep making more! or maybe start building 1/10 static models. you got a talent I wish I could have.

Thanks, Yep, I did, told myself to stay off the high spots with the 1500 but nope, got em anyway. Just waiting to finish a few more details before I touch up a few areas.

Thanks! Yeah, am an old school Gasser guy at heart.

joe122 · 02-22-2016, 06:02 PM

Well, it's almost ready for it's maiden voyage, except its dark out! So, set the front windshield, installed the FAST Fuel/spark control, wired up the lights, installed the steering wheel and found a way to secure the body....I hope.

Mike Flea · 02-22-2016, 07:22 PM

Details are above and beyond!, Excellent work

joe122 · 02-23-2016, 09:20 PM

Had enough time for a quick video before a huge winter storm hits us tomorrow. Quick, not the best! But first test drive went very well.
