Sci Fi Whiffs - park them here

[philp]

Ok, since we have a kajillion different topics in the Whiffs you have found, I figured I would make another  

So, since most Sci Fi is Whiffery, pretty much anything is fair game here.  I would not count models that depict movie, TV, etc models. However, a whiffed version of an X-wing with WWII markings would still fit this thread.

So, get posting.

First up (and the reason for the thread  ).

B Heavy (IPMS Orlando, FL 2009 show)


***added event location and your comments from a later post as part of a thread merge***jjf.

I think these fit into this topic.  They are all part of a Sci Fi diorama I build a few years ago.

"Babylon 5" Starfury converted to NASCAR style racer.


Scratchbuilt maintenance droid working on Millenium Falcon.


A "Space 1999" Eagle marked as an old U-Haul van.


A "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" Flying Sub as an Arrakis Oceanographic research vessel.


A "Star Wars" X-wing fighter done as a crop duster.


And finally a scratchbuilt Barsoom Landscaping flyer.

Ed, that is yours?  Your my hero. I love that dio.

And it is exactly the kind of thing I mean.

Yep.  I had it at the 05 Convention here in Atlanta.

I've seen that dio posted before in various places.  Never knew it was your's Ed, but I've always loved it.

I've been after that figure for ages now with no luck, nice bit of painting and a great thread.
Thanks

More of a Luft 46 then Sci fi .
Done with a pair of Fw-190's and an ME -262



And here is a Next Generation Space Shuttle built using the Heller Ariane 5 as the booster and an old Intergalactic UFO Mystery Ship kit more famous as the Lief Erickson from AMY from the late 60's and early 70's. Try and guess the big corporate sponsor.

That luft46 machine is incredible!

Here are a couple more.  These from IPMS/Atlanta.

Looks like Weyland-Yutani, the "Company" that sponsored the colonization of LV-426 in Aliens.
