Need a "Flying" car?
« on: 23 May 2011, 01:27:13 AM »
Found this neat little kit from Hot Wheels at the local Wal-Mart for about $9.00. 


This is what I made out of it.


I'm using it for my Starport project as the personal vehicle of Mr. John J. Biggs CEO of Venture Star Prospecting.  Figure it would be good for sci-fi, Shadowrun, modern and near future spy games, Cyberpunk ect.....

How cool is that?!

That thing has Mega City One written all over it.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.  I will have to keep an eye out for those.

They have a batmobile-tumbler set as well.  The scale is close enough and it comes with all sorts of gubbins like jet engines, guns, and tank treads.  All of these kits are just about 1/43.

I wanted that one but they didn't have any at the local store when I picked this one up.

I have several of these kits and whether you build them standard or super customized, the bits are worth it for scenery and conversions. There was a tractor-trailer available as well and it came with parts to build a stock car or a dune buggy as well.

I do have the tumbler kit as well.
