Roadrunner Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 1:385th, what an odd scale. How's the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have some odd ball stuff but this wins. That thing must be huge! I have a 1:1000 scale photo etched version and it is a little over a foot tall. It was designed to go with the Zeppelin kit from the same company.

Atmobil Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It says on the box that it is 77,8cm tall, about the same in height as a 1:25 semi-truck in length but with a base of 30,2cm I guess you need a very big shelf to put it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 . Yes sir..............That is over the top. Figuratively and technically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I once had a kit of the ISS (The International Space Station) made by Heller but I sold it. It is not really that weird, just spacy and I never got the urge to build it. I do have a Weird-oh kit, the Sling-Rave Curvette....not really weird that either, just ugly. I kind of like the idea of the Heller figure kits of the Simpsons family, want to get my hands on them some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is almost 31 inches tall. That is positively massive. No shelves for this beast. You wouldn't want to put it on the floor. Someone might mistake it for a coat rack!

Pete J. Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Here is my 1:1000 scale photo etched model. Crazy in a much different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I love it, Pete. Such a beautiful design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Now that looks like some work right there! Looks great. How long did that beauty take to build? Edited April 22, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Now that looks like some work right there! Looks great. How long did that beauty take to build? It went surprisingly quickly. A couple of nights. The interesting part to me is that all total there are only parts that were glued in. Everything else is held in place with small tabs or just slots into place with a friction fit. They have a lot of kits which are pretty impressive. This is another one of their kits.

Darren B Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 the weirdest kit in my stash as of today, just picked this one up at my local hobby club...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't think it's wierd, but it's different and cool. I want to get the space shuttle with the boosters and launch crawler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 That thing is awesome!I am surprised they sprung for the complicated tooling unless the maker of the real excavator helped pay for the development costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 That I couldn't tell ya. But there is a high parts count. This thing is huge when done, a little over 2 foot long, foot and half tall. I'll need some shelf space for it, for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo426 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I built that Blimp kit about 5 years ago.Here is a link to a vid. https://youtu.be/rIcoxWE_1C0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't think it's wierd, but it's different and cool. I want to get the space shuttle with the boosters and launch crawler. Had one, but sold it. I've seen two that were built so far, one of which was very nice; it showed up here at the IPMS nationals in St Louis, back in 1991.

Petetrucker07 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't want to want start it till I have the room for it. I want to build it right, make it look as real as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have the same problem with several kits, Clayton; perhaps the worst being a partial 1:72 U-Boat bunker I started a couple of years ago. Finding room to display some of my larger projects, is going to be a bit of a challenge, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 That kit is just crying out to be in a diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Certainly not as weird as some of the stuff in this topic, but the "weirdest" kit I do actually have in my stash is this one: I built that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is huge!!! Darren: I've definitely never seen that kit before!!! Anthony: I saw a couple of those Goodyear blimps at the Houston model show for sale! Tommy: I've never even heard of that car..............let alone the model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
