 | | Couple Bryce Rollins models built up and uploaded.
|
| Hey there folks, wanted to put up a note about some photos that I've uploaded concerning a couple models that I've recently built by that madman who builds without bricks, Bryce Rollins. I've had a ball putting his models together and the topper has (...) (20 years ago, 5-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.military)

|
| (...) Okay, I know I'm late getting in on this, but I had to say I'm a fan of all your B.I. Joe stuff, and the Killer Whale is no exception. When we were kids, my brother had the Cobra hydrofoil that was the counterpart to this hovercraft (which (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! They are mines of a sort...depth charges. Pomme de terre / Pomme de tErrE. :) And no...they don't really hurt whales. They 'kill' them metaphorically with witty satire and zippy dialogue. :) Cheers, -G (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

|
| (...) You should! The mo' the bettah! (...) I was thinking of that when I was building it. In the end (like with quite a bit of the Joe stuff I make), I decided that play factor wins over accuracy as I wanted the missles to fit all the way into the (...)

| Memories, memories..... I don't want to bother you with that... Wonderfull MOC Gil! At first glance it looks basic, but plenty of details caught my attention : the propeller and the rudders, the guns on top of the craft, the mines (are they mines?) (...)

|
| (...) It looks great! Having the toy, I have been wanting to build one myself. I have a couple of suggestions if you trying to make it a little more accurate. You could make the missle launchers smaller, just by using 2x4 bricks and sticking the (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
| | | | | Re: B.I. Joe: Killer Whale Hovercraft
|
| (...) I never had any GI Joe stuff as a kid (pretty much just Lego), but this is a cool model in its own right. You've got a lot of nice details- I especially like the mounted machine guns and the beautiful rocket launcher boxes. The hidden (...)

| Very nice, brings a tear to me eye. As for contestable entry, feed me the dimensions, maggot! Rick (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
| | | | | B.I. Joe: Killer Whale Hovercraft
|
| Greetings! After a little forced hiatus, Joe is back and he's hoverin' to glory! (URL) I actually had this mostly built for quite some time, but just recently finished off the last couple details. If the our iron-booted overlords think it qualifies (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX) !
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| (...) Thanks! I thought about your suggestion and came up with a solution that not only made the "black hole" suppressors, it reinforced the tail, which I say, COOL! Of course I didn't take pix yet, but they will posted soon. I really appreciate the (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| This is a superb model. My only suggestion to get a little closer to the real thing would be to replace the last two plates worth of the engines with black, or maybe dark grey, instead of the current grey (part of the rear 1x1 grey brick) to (...)

| (...) James, Archangel is on the way (although the eyepatch is a problem) :-)..I would have thought that Hawk would have been the one to be here. And Blue Thunder? Well......maybe. I really like the Lady! Joe (20 years ago, 17-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| (...) Oops. I should have looked this up. But it's easily fixed. Thanks for catching this. And if you noticed this, someone else would too. Thanks for the comments! Joe (20 years ago, 17-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..

| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| (...) Thanks, Cyndi - As usual, the Apache was a bunch of happy accidents while building something else. Airwolf. The nose built itself, then the cockpit, then...the rest of it! A very fun build, as is Micro in general to me. and don't worry, (...) (20 years ago, 17-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| (...) Wow, that's a great job! It looks more convincing than many larger scale models. One critique: the tips on the main rotor blades should be swept in the opposite direction. Looking down on the helo, the main rotor blades rotate (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tank-killer..
|
| Hi Joe I saw your Apache while at work today and didn't have the time to really look at it. Sitting at home now I think it is fantastic, really spot on realistic. It makes me want to build micro scale. Thanks for the inspiration. Chris P.S. Your (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
