I added this link, I hope it helps....it looks like other than The inside decal, and Orion in the cockpit, its just red decals.....Bourno, do they sell that styrene in light blue ? That would save painting the bottom half. Well I hope that link helps you. And thank you for the great items, you sent me !!!!!

For styrene, it is pretty much white or black. For ABS (which I plan to switch over to), saw a gray, but no blue. I planned on leaving the ship mostly white and going colored on the bottom round piece and the upper red piece only. Like on the cartoon and the SOC version. I don't plan on following the original jumbo scheme, it is going to be a cross of several different spazer toys for aspects on its look. I am also looking at a more real cockpit once I get to the vertical fin to see what scale size would like decent. 1/72 would be a nice size, also 1/48 may be a good choice but may look a little over-sized. But, wouldn't be as bad as that original Duke Fleed paper figure.
For red, only saw that in acrylic which has several color choices.
I have all of Sanjeev's photos, plus a couple extra from him. Mike Deco also sent me some photos that I most had, but were a couple that I could add to my personal spazer folder.

Man, Bourno you are a BEAST! That is off the hook! Just got his Grendizer chest and Dangard Leg shields and man do they look amazing  (I'll post pics soon) Crazy idea for Grendizer...thin red pieces (would probbaly need to be stuck with adhesive) that would copy the red of Grendizer's lower torso and more that could maybe take the place of the stickers on his legs...making the US piece look that much more like his Popy counterpart. Same idea could also replicate the red on Daimos's chest and wrist cuffs. |

Working on one of my largest molds for parts. The spazer vertical fin. teambac.com/shogun_warriors/the_spazer/4_batch_Oct_2012/2012-10-27_09-42-38_204.jpgI got a lot of progress made in September, but October slowed down again somewhat. Can't believe it is almost November. Time for some later nights in the shop after my daughter goes to to bed. Amazing how quickly time can slip by when you aren't paying attention. Hoping to be close to done by Thanksgiving. The biggest hurdles will be the missile shooting mechanisms and cockpit details if I want those incorporated by then. |

Here is the first vertical fin made from the big ole mold. Had only a couple small air bubbles, otherwise turned out really good. Did a double rotational cast, wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any accidental thin spots. Most likely not needed, but the part is nice and strong. I like the smooth-cast 65D for my parts, but is hard to get a darker red with the resin as it turns white when cured. So, need to add orange to keep from having a pinkish result. The color of the below piece is about the same color as the 1st version mattel Magzinga chest piece. I may just stick with it for color, as I don't feel like switching to a different series that is more amber when cured, which may provide a darker red, but not sure if it would provide the best rotational casts. A so-so shot from my phone  Started work on the wing pod today. Then, onto the wings where I have a couple different ideas. I have ideas/plans for a cockpit, will see where time lies. Doing a "blue" windshield would be easy to do for now and upgrade a little later. |

As this section has been quiet the last couple days. Hoping to have some photos of the Spazer wings and pods before this weekend. Have the wing pod molded, one wing being finished, and another wing on its first 1/2 of the mold for it.

Some more. A few photos of the current progress. Taking a break while the paint dries on the upper Spazer hull. I decided to paint the ship instead of using stickers as would been hard to apply without wrinkles and such due to the curved surfaces. I hate painting ;D Or should say, the masking and prep work to paint. The top black piece was for fit and marking where holes need to be. The final piece will be red. Not sure later tonight or more likely tomorrow, I will make a template for the vertical wing and its black lines. I need to clean up the windshield a little on the first trial and make a nicer final mold of it then. A cockpit with pilot is on hold. Not sure if to go with a "blue" or "black" windshield for now. Maybe blue, as need a little contrast once the fin is painted. The last order of ABS plastic was a brighter white than some of the first stuff I got. Now, to see how to get more of that for future ships. teambac.com/shogun_warriors/the_spazer/5_batch_Nov_2012/2012-11-17_09-39-48_162.jpgI did trim the front and bottom to be smoother. Just a test fit with the wheels added.  Getting pretty close. Just dialing in a couple last pieces.   |

Will Yeah, I saw these casters on thought they would look pretty good being black versus a single wheel with galvanized sides. Thanks for the compliments guys!!! Been a longer project than first hoped for, but the light at the end is getting a lot brighter the last week. |
