The Illusion - Is It a Boat or a Plane???

[Nosferatu]

The Illusion

I took a ’58 Tbird rear end and the body part that circled the interior of the Futura added a modified Corvette hood, the pontoons from a Formula One racing boat and scratch built wings. I also used many different parts to make the interior and of course mucho puttying and sanding.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.






 

I used a metallic silver basecoat and fogged the rear in flat black. Then I used a pearl green over that. The pearl green took lightly on the silver but got darker green when on the flat black.

Now THAT is creative- kit bashing at its best! Regarding is it a plane or a boat- maybe a ploat? or a boane?

[crazyjim]

Everything is screaming very cool kit bashing.

NICE! This is very well done; love the concept, love the color, love the whole thing! It reminds me of something from one of the old Gerry Anderson series, like Thunderbirds, or Supercar. Thanks for sharing this.

Very cool!!! ?  Reminds me of something I would've seen as a kid growing up in the Sixties!

[alan barton]

That's nuts! I love crazy boats and this is definitely a boat, albeit one from Star Wars!  You did some outstanding work blending all those pieces together.  Too cool.

Cheers
