HL-10 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 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!

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 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 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 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 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
