Rocket or submarine
« on: August 23, 2012, 10:05:27 PM »
I wanted to make a B movie style single seat rocket. However when I proudly presented it to the wife and my son (who's also a gamer) they both thought it was a submarine. what does everyone think?

Both.

It's a multi-purpose craft, designed to carry your intrepid heroes wherever they might need to go, as long as they don't need to eat!

Give it optional landing skids and its a rocket, or optional hydroplanes and its a sub.
Give it both and its a submarine launched rocket.
Let the customers decide.

Sounds like fastolfrus has the right idea!

Looks great, whatever you call it.

 Thanks for the posts guys.The mould still needs a little tinkering before it goes into production so I've got a bit of time to work out what to call it.

You could call it "The Flying Fish" after this creature:

Although the wings on the actual fish are a bit different...

I'd say it is one of Lord Titan's new rocket sumarines.

If you do a sub version also do a version on the surface. ;)

Tim

Great looking Rocketsub

I have not looked at frontlines stuff in a while but I have a bunch of your great WW2 20mm vehicles and think it's excellent you're doing Pulp

Thanks
