Countach & Hunter, red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.




I can almost picture seeing James Bond driving/flying something like that, but preferably in a white color. ;) Definately looks like something Q would develop.  ;D
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

yours are spectular ! eager to see the Vulcan-ised one !


For the kit, I found this weird 1/28 motorized version :





That's a nice kit, thanks for the info, my Tamiya kit  is motorised but I think it's a bit under powered for the Vulcan wings  :o ....I must bite the bullet and finish that one  ;D  :thumbsup:

If all those legs are properly coordinated that ride would be pretty smooth. You would never get my wife to ride in it, however.

That's brilliant  :thumbsup:  I can see it in either a Flintstones or Jetsons type of animation., both ends of the historical spectrum  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Think I've got one of those. The idea was to stick a 1/32nd Vulcan cannon the side of it to replicate a particular car in the game Car Wars.  :wacko:

Your winged version is obviously from the 21st century "darker and grittier" remake of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...  ;D  :thumbsup:

Presumably a spider with wire-spoked wheels will be arriving shortly then... :wacko:

Those old vintage cars are ideal for steampunk-ish things aren't they?

PR19_Kit

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! :)
