To give Filmy’s Girls’ 1/5 scale Allura a metal-look spacesuit, Randy applied Alclad II lacquers and used SMS flip-flop for the colored panels, masking with Silly Putty when needed. The model originally came with a solid base. “I removed it and replaced it with 1/4 -inch thick translucent blue Plexiglas to light the base,” Randy says.
