That's the one. the problem with trying to produce that design is the exposed framework. the canopy could very easily be done as a vacform. And the workings are easily enough replicated. I could scratchbuild it in less than five days i reckon, as a one-off, but making a master pattern would...

Is that the one that looks like a power pylon with rotor blades?

The helicopter?

All joking aside, a 1/18 Blackbird would be 1820mm long and 940mm across. On it's tail, only 180mm shy of two metres high... Would anyone seriously be in for something that big?

It's cool. I don't take any offense in negative comments(As in, people wo don't want one). Some products speck to you, and some don't. It's not a big deal, lol.

Lol. I have been hearing that from a lot of folks. The stands will be in rubber too before long. The Comanche will be taking up my free time for the next few weeks till it's done. Then i will be able to focus on other projects again.

Thanks! Thanks a lot. I am working on a slightly less complicated version as a companion piece to the backpack.

No. Although the stated scale is 1/20, the head works out fine for 1/18 as is. I have a mould for that head if you need one(but not for the faceplate).

Thanks a lot. Those were scribed into the plastic with a scriber from the Bare Metal Foil co. I use a steel rule for straight flat lines, and a piece of .040 thou styrene for areas that have a curve to them. You can even make custom curved styrene guides for curves. Or a set of French...

Thanks again my friend!

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. I only had that one picture to use as reference. I didn't add the moving control surfaces on the wingtips, but they can be scribed off and articulated. A friend of mine has turned one into a nice looking little UCAV drone. For sure. The mould is sitting at work. I can make them at a...

Haha! That's what everyone says! The girls make the Dio i think. It was a solid vacform master i made to replace the Sigma Six Firebat canopies. If you check my earlier post up above with the "vanilla" coloured resin pieces, those were the solid canopy bucks. Heated plastic(Clear or black)...

Ahhhh. A fellow Ma.K fan! Those are very nice. The Mel is a particular fave of mine. As is the SAFS. Good choices. Have you ever considered getting the 1/20 stuff? The early masters used Joe-scale heads, and the suits can work in 1/18.

Hahahaha. Everyone i know who has seen my stash says the same thing... That i should open a store. It is all for sale. If anyone sees something they like, they just make an offer. I tend to use it all as trade fodder in any case. If someone wants something i have, i can usually find something...

Thanks. I'm still trying to think of a cool colour scheme for the thing.

Thanks a lot. How to do it all is pretty much shown in the images. The only thing i never thought to include before is that the canopy is from a custom vacform master i made as a replacement canopy for the sigma Six Firebat fighter. Here's what i did(Clear for the canopy and the black part...

There is talk that Mcfarlane might produce one for the Reach figures which will make it even bigger than 1/18, so perfect for Joe sized customs. Till then i have to make my own...

Incredible. Great work with this. As is said by others, it really looks more like a scale model than the World Peacekeepers version now. Apparently BBTS is getting these in for you guys in the States. We can buy them in stores here in the UK easily enough. I picked up an A-10 and three J-10s...

Did you ever get around to taking pics of all three? Great work on the paint. It looks very nice.
