BSC2025 Red Orc's UFO

[Red Orc]

... as I said in the sticky, I am planning on making something along the lines of a sci-fi vehicle inspired by the old deodorant-stick grav-tank, or something similar. Probably a deodorant stick, maybe a shampoo bottle, as the chassis, the thing wll almost certainly be some kind of hovery thing, like a landspeeder or something like that, with an outside possibility (because it just occurred to me and I don't jave an idea how to work it yet) of a submarine... which probably isn't an Unidentified Floating Object.

Anyway, this is actually Rick Priestley's original grav tank that is my inspiration. If I get anything a quarter as cool I'll be ecstatic.

Sounds like a plan, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I remember (Fondly) the Deodorant stick hover-tank. I even made my own version.
Good luck with your build.

Thanks! Any pics of your hover-tank you can show?

Sorry, no. Too many decades ago. 
My 'records' only go back as far as August 2019 when my wife said, 'You should
put pictures of what you do, onto that wargames site you follow'

Fair enough, photos of things were a rare commodity in the days when they only came 24/36 at a time.

  I hear you brother.

That picture of the Priestley Hovertank reminded me of the two I still have lying around in their project state for my Mentor Legion

Good luck on your UFO; I'm very interested to see what you come up with

[Red Orc]

Your mention of the Mentor Legion (I'm sure I posted on your thread about them a couple of years ago) reminded me of the Legion of Lead that members of the forum were putting together even years before that.

I'm not saying I will *definitely* paint up my hover-car-cum-grav-tank in Lead Legion colours, but it's given me some ideas anyway!

[Daeothar]

Do it!! 

[Red Orc]

OK, obviously this has gone nowhere, I have just as many bits not-put-together as I had at the beginning... never mind, I might get my lazy butt into gear at some point, but don't hold your breath!

I get it, glad you got started. Next year!

It can be hard to find the time to get stuff done, especially  to a time frame.

Build it at your own pace and enjoy it.
