I can't find my 2 quart sauce pan. Who took it? If someone paints it green they better clean it off.
😂😜
Now this thing is definitely the weirdest design ever. I thought the rolling wheel tank was strange but this is just nuts!

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! :)

Well, amusing if nothing else. I always used to laugh at the Moon Mobile that featured on U F O (and, Captain Scarlet I think?)  It used to hop along quite the thing on four bouncy legs. Could never see the point of that! Why not just fly the bloody thing all the way!!

There's a certain amount of stubborn insanity in these designs that is, at least, concerning, at worst, terrifying! :blink:

Well judging by the shape of the thing, I'd say mushrooms would have to be favorite...

Watch the You Tube clip.  The animated footage of it in action is hilarious.

What would be the biggest issue for the crew?  Seasickness, concussion, or compacted vertebrae?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The guy didn't have a sidekick called Gromit did he ?  :angel:  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That thought had occurred to me when I first posted this item!

Madame Rheged  has just suggested that a diorama of one or more of these devices, accompanied by a squad of infantry mounted on pogo sticks  might be in order  (but Bridget has the same inverted sideways view of life  as I do!)

LOL!!
Are we sure this shouldn't be in the humor thread?
In the diorama the enemy should be standing in shock or on the ground laughing their a$$ off!
