Had to Blitz this figure conversion as I only got the concert tickets the day before the actual gig, not enough time for more progress photos.
Ronnie Romero (Lords of Black, Rainbow) as guest vocalist for Walter Giardinos Temple. converted from the standing racing driver out of the Tamiya 1/20 Motorsport Team set.

Hot rod assembly line.
Front to rear - Fujimi A-4C, Esci A-4E, Fujimi A-4B
These were all started kits given to me years ago. All have the fuselage halves joined with no interior painting or ballast and no instructions.
Fortunately the decal sheets are still there, especially the Fujimi A-4C ones.
The tartan decals are home made, and to fill the A5 sized decal sheet I made up enough for 4 different aircraft with 2 different versions of the VA-46 tartan. First to approach the finish line is the A-4C circa 1965 aboard USS Shangri La in the MacKenzie tartan variation.

The Scooter production line has stalled somewhat until my LMS gets more Light Gull Grey rattle cans in :evil:
The Echo still needs Gull Grey on the tail, but I can get on with the pit of the Bravo that the previous owner has already buttoned up. On the plus side I've dug out my other Fujimi Charlie which is still untouched and will make a nice change from having to undo a mess before progressing.
