I'm usually just a lurker but I think I'll get in on this. I fudged up the tracks on a 1/72 Trumpeter AS-90 so I try it as a hover/anti-grav type thing if thats possible. I'll try to post pics but have never done this before. Wish me luck.

Jump on in Bub! I like the sound of a hover AS90.

Yep, you get your Cookie!

Like the Hovertank, although I can only see the third pic, the other two just show red x's.

Great Doodads! Very nice details, if the rest follows along this progression it's going to rock for sure

Heres some more pics. It's still a little rough, the missle launcher isn't mounted; its just there to show where it's going, and I still need more stuff on it. I might try to do some kind of ground anchoring system and/or spade type of something, don't know yet.

Yeah it's kinda go big or go home. She may still get a couple of launchers or guns on the front end.

Clearly Canadian! The attention to detail, the creativity and effortless execution...all very Canadian (naturally).

Welcome, Brother Canadian. Can you spare a Twiglet?

BlackOps · April 07, 2008, 08:07:12 PM

Any updates? (not trying to be pushy just really enjoying this build) Of course I'm one to talk, haven't touched mine in a month DOH!

I have been busy w/ other some other models on rainy days and working outside as much as I can with spring here. I tried to make the feet as functional as possible but just couldn't get the rear ones to cooperate so they are permanent. The therory is there is a sliding track system to position them. I still want to tidy up the front supports a bit and do some more detaling. Stay tuned.
