Johnny Quest hovercraft?
« on: 30 September 2012, 06:17:07 PM »
Does anyone know if someone makes a model of the hovercraft seen in the old Johnny Quest cartoons? You know, the round flying platforms that showed up every so often in the show...in 28mm.  I'd post a picture but am having no luck doing so.

IIRC the bad guys also used some one man flying platforms.


Thanks,
Tom

I do believe he means this one.  No, I have not found this in 28mm.

The flying platforms are cool, but i was thinking about the larger, circular hovercraft, like the one in the opening credits.

Scartchbuild them, they look easy to pull off without spending too much. Plastic lid, some sprue, a few gribblies and you're done. The same goes for the ones Flashman posted.

Yours truly,

Yeah, I'm thinking more that scratchbuilding is the way to go.

Thanks,
Tom
