Cloud Base.


HL-10

Recommended Posts

It started off with this:

 

One Konami Angel Interceptor:

Which then developed into 3 Angel Interceptors:

And now it has run away into this!:

Hopefully it will end up as Spectrum's Cloud Base, or a new coffee table! :)

 

 

Cheers,

Angelo.

Looking forward to this!

What he said! This ought to be a monster -- but if it lives up to its current promise, a fantastic model. Could we please have some details of the build -- what's in it, what you've done so far with what, etc.? Inquiring minds would love to know.

The main construction material is Perspex sheet, available from your local DIY store.

The piping on the underside is commercially available PVC piping.

I also raided B&Q for the quarter round wood trim that makes up the rounded off edge of the flight deck.

The Perspex was also used to build the command centre.

Various items found in and around the house were used to form various other structures.

More Perspex will be used to build the engines & command centre support arms.

I'm hoping to light it up with LEDS for both the internal lights, and the various warning beacons.

 

Many thanks,

Angelo.

Two of the four hover combine, positioning jets.

Now I've got to make the frame to connect the command centre to the engines, and then bring it all together!

 

Thanks for looking,

Angelo :)

Just a "little" update.

 

While working on the command centre's observation tubes, I thought it would be good to have some observers.

Not sure what Colonel White and Captain Scarlet have seen, but Blue & Symphony Angel seem more interested in each other! :)

 

 

The figures were carved from cocktail sticks with wire used for their arms.

They a about 4 to 5mm in height.

Back to sanding & filling, filling & sanding :)
