discussion Kitbashed Sci-fi Flyer

[Andy T]

I had lots of fun with this one and considering it's my first attempt at something like this I'm really happy with it.

Based loosely around an AI image I found, I chopped up a 1/72 Apache kit for the cockpit and went from there. It's all imaginary so there's no need to critique the aerodynamics or question how jet engines work in space! :tongue-out3:

Brilliant work Andy, very convincing and a great finish

What a great result, Andy.
Terrific imagination, all nicely brought into fruition!

I know a 'Chucker'. She said she would be happy to oblige and added she was quite used to being hired out before she married me......Can't think what she meant.

Inspirational Andy - you may have started something now!! I bet more than one has looked at their scrapped kits and are wondering????

 

[Tim Marlow]

Fantastic. Great skill and imagination. Totally convincing.

Thanks Ron, I will bear your wife's services in mind for the future. The chucking I mean!

When I first mentioned my plan someone suggested it could be a great idea for a group build. Given the response I'm inclined to agree, but I'm not really the organising type.

 

[Ian M]

A great result that Andy. Very convincing and a great paint job.
