HL-10 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 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!

HL-10 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Rose Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Really great work on this, nice job with the detailing and it even gets a bath! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 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?
