Do fantasy and Sci-Fi count as whiffs?

[Radish]

Ask the chappies in the store. They're very knowledgeable.
Some of the figures are metal, but I use the straight forward plastic ones that ARE plastic, not soft stuff that Airfix, etc., use.
They scale out around 1/48th.
The Zombie figures are super....and I've got some medieval-type infantry for Crusaders.
They're good to build, lots of good detail, and their website has good hints as well.

Go for it!!
Their paints are fantastic!

I think you could make a whif out of anything.

Science fiction, by definition, is a mix of fantasy and possibility, which fits the What-if principle, I guess.
As far as I am concerned, I seldom love science fiction craft because in outer-space, without air, there is no need of aerodynamic (pretty) shapes... A rocket and a satellite do not please me much , far less than a Mustang or Mirage.

Ahhh, but they're not all bland rockets and satellites, mon ami!

I give you the genius of Gabriel Koerner, CGI artiste encroyable:

Hammerhead from SPACE: Above and Beyond....



Some GREAT designs out there.  A fantastic ship is a fantastic ship, whether it's an aeroplane, naval vessel or spaceship!

Too right.

I Whiffed the Alien figure from the film as Kevin the Albino Alien which many found fun, especially when he crapped Twiglets

Have a look at this site - http://manconquersspace.com/ - not exactly SF as its based on the old Von Braun designs, but definitely whiff

All this has got me thinking, a dangerous thing I know which my therapist has told me to avoid at all costs, and also hugely inspired by this article and Gregs Battlemech. Interested in building a Sci-Fi model. Now I'm not a big Sci-Fi buff, but I do like the idea of building something completely scratchbuilt, using alot of household items, with no base kit to start from..
Anyone with me? Possible group build? Have to give this one a long time frame but I see it as great exercise in imagination and developing modelling skills.

Sounds like fun to me Leigh, I'm in!

[Runway ? ...]

Hmm.. A pots and pans build. That could get quite cool    I like ! Not saying I'm in but that's ..   OH Oh I've got a spaceship forming do it Now !!!

Kinda feel to it

I'm using plastic egg-carton bits for the thrusters on mine.

LOTS of thrusters...   ^_^

i think sci-fi does count as  whiffs.
there fictional, fantasy and kinda original.

to me, anything that isnt realistic, is whiff.  B)
