Found this by accident, a whole load of Egg planes, ships, spacecraft & more.  Several of them are Hasegawa's & other kits, but most of them are scratch built.

He's done a 'Making Of' if you want to have a crack ;D at your own.  There are dioramas & photoshops for a good laugh too!

Probably my favourite:



Have fun browsing!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

some great ideas  :lol: - don't know about the Eggson-Valdez dio -- shouldn't the "booms" be strips of bacon rather than Heinz spaghetti ?


Heres some by the guy who made the original egg-masters for Hasegawa http://modelbox.free.fr/dossiers/Eggs_P/index.html

I like his Grumman F3F and a few of the proposed eggplanes like the Flying "Pancake".
you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

The last page on that site has some AWESOME ideas!

The Egg B-36 is a hoot, the Egg Lightning is hilarious but the one that takes the cake for me is Egg Bucc! It almost looks as if it's not an eggcraft at all!  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

WoW! and I thought that the egg thing was just a few Hasegawa kits...its a lot larger.
 
Really impressed by those "In action" shots, some really good Photomanip's there.

Millenium Falcon, Classic ! And yet the one egg shaped sci-fi design, the Tie Fighter, was not done...
 
BTW, they even did a flying wing (B2).

I love the Concordes.  Landing with the nose tilted down and "in flight" with the nose up.  Excellent!  :thumbsup:

That always perplexed me that nobody ever did a Tie Egg fighter, as it seemed to be a natural. So I finally just made one myself...

It even got popped as a resin kit.
Gotta love the Egg Planes!

Excellent! and a lot of us might have ellipsed the body of the craft and left the solar panels as is, but you did it one better and made the panels egg shaped and left the pod round. Nice concept.

Shouldn't that be 'Eggscellent'?  ;D ;)

True we may be eggstremely eggcentric... but at least we don't have big eggos! :P
