Skydiver

[HL-10 5,607]

I have just taken delivery of a 3' model of Skydiver from Gerry Anderson's UFO.

 

It is made of resin & fibreglass.

It has come with a pair of water jets fitted so with some radio control gubbins added it will be patrolling my local boating lake in case of an alien attack.

 

 

Stay tuned!

Just re-watched the entire series earlier this year, will be following this thread with interest!

I have been cutting holes in SkyDiver, (hopefully she'll still float!)

 

There was quite a large plug of resin to get through to open up the conning tower.

More holes!

Adding other details as I go along

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking,

Angelo.

Well underway now!

Sky 1 is virtually complete.

Might get a primer coat on by the weekend

 

 

[HL-10 5,607]

Sky1 ready for priming!

And, she floats!

Really great work on this, nice job with the detailing and it even gets a bath! 

[Pete in Lincs 13,103]

Wow! I was asked if I was going to float the kreiger floatplane I just built. I wasn't falling for that one.

So I admire your confidence by giving your build a bath. It looks great, and huge too.

So, what is the assembled length and what does it scale out at?

She's 3 foot long and 1/36th scale.
