Hello... long time no see ;) Been busy running the shop and painting my new Blood Bowl Team... but now I'll start a new (small) project: The Seagull

Maybe upgraded with some guns ;)

Fantastic pulpy vehicle!
-
That is awesome! I want one!
-
Put a covered cockpit onto it and it would make a great pulp sf spacecraft 8)
-
Now that is cool!
Not sure what craft like these would be classified as - not quite a hydrofoil, but not quite a "Wing In Ground Effect" (WIG or WIGE) craft either.
Another use for Copplestone's 28mm pilot figures - the head-and-shoulders-only ones designed for cockpits.
A two-place one - perhaps with a WW1-style machine gun mount around one cockpit - would also be very cool to see!
-
Oooooooooh...! Now that got my attention. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
-
Pretty cool, should make for a fun project.

Hi Grimm,
whenever I find an interesting image on the web it goes directly to my bookmark list... there is enough stuff for years in there. A great source are those "The 10 strangest/silliest/funniest whatever" websites like cracked.com (http://cracked.com) or similar. Another neverending list of strange things is on http://www.darkroastedblend.com/ (http://www.darkroastedblend.com/)... just now this is on their homepage:

I mean... this is seriously crazy stuff:

It's full of these... btw, search google images for "weird vehicles" actually is a good find ;)
Cheers,

If you want crazy then try this one;

I think I picked this up off LAF a year or so ago...........................

That aerotrain is awesome!

I was aware of the speedboat featured, and have even thought about modelling it, but this thread has really made me wish I'd started modelling it earlier.
The model so far looks fantastic, a great job and I cannot wait to see it finished.
Well done.

i like this alot, nice concept

It's coming along most excellently!
-
I changes the proportions a little, made it a bit shorter. Looks better to me that way ;) I'll build a closed cockpit for outer space action as well. :P

That Snow Cruiser features in a Clive Cussler book, where Dirk Pitt uses it to foil the plans of some evil neo-nazis (who are in reality a weird genetic experiment uses the furhers genes). Great pulp action.
-
Added some detail... a little cleaning and a closed cockpit and it's finished...

P.S. I need to remove that phone numbers of the desk ;)
-
Awesome. :o :o
Still i'd like to see a flock of them.
-
That is superb :o :-* :o :-*

Looks cool! Well done!
Now I dare anyone to say you'll find *that* in a kinder egg! ;)

Tobsen, that is really impressive. Wow! Looking at it, it's clear how the same technique, and even some small variations on the same design, could produce some really nice vehicles for VSF, Sci-fi - almost anything! The 'skinning' over the plasticard ribs is done incredibly well, and the closed cockpit is exceptionally well done too. Looking forward to seeing some paint on this seagull!
-
I' a little curious to how you made the pattern for the sides, so that they are proportional and seem to fit so well together.
-
Try as I might I just cannot imagine two cockpits ;D
Very nice it is, possibly your neatest yet.
-
Lovely :-*
How to you do the thread effect on the weapon ???
-
Oh wow, that's beautiful. I could see one with 2 cockpits, one small one on either side of the main fuselage.
Anyhow - splendid 8) 8) 8)

Thanks for the compliments!
The gun reincarnates parts of the interieur of an old pen ;)
Thanks

And no I haven't forgotten and yes it's on my paint list! lol

Now I get it...
Closed cockpit and weapon(s imagine two of them...)
I meant: imagine two guns, one on each wing... I was too lazy to build two seperate guns and wanted to duplicate them in resin ;)

Tobi, that looks great with the enclosed cockpit. Just what I'd hoped you would do :D
