And let’s not forget Ecto 1. Added to the list, any mention of bouncing takes me straight to that Not the Nine O'Clock news song, 'I like bouncing' I was bouncing down the club with a bird named Denis I said to her in passing I was pretty good at tennis She said, That doesn't need announcing judging by the way your balls are bouncing And into the chorus.... Good luck making a model of that!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 There are so many aircraft represented in films that I wouldn't know where to start (or finish). When I was very young, I remember seeing a film about a B-25 that crash-landed in North Africa. It was probably The Sole Survivor. Frederick Forsyth's illustrated novella The Shepherd (written as a Christmas gift for his wife) features two famous de Havilland designs: The Vampire and the Mosquito. However, the illustrator seems to have gotten their DH designs confused, as sometimes the Vampire is drawn as a Venom, and the Mosquito as a Hornet. I can think of at least two songs that mention the Zero, by Neil Young (Western Hero) and Billy Bragg (Sexuality). Never mind all the movies it's been in. Of course, it's one of many different aircraft represented in Tora, Tora, Tora, and several other WW II flicks. Johnny Come Lately by Steve Earle references the P-47. Tokyo Storm Warning by Elvis Costello references the Super Constellation. The Boeing 747 (and indeed 707) are name-dropped in more songs than I care to remember. For some idea of the range of possible subjects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_in_fiction ... but even that list is probably far from complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know you love a challenge. horse= iron horse= can I do The General, with a miniature Buster Keaton? Or Charlie Chaplain as The Dictator, which would probably be easiest in a r'everse engineered' kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Patrice Oh! I see what you did there with a clever inversion. I hadn't thought of that, well I guess so, if only to acknowledge your ingenuity. I then wondered about Chattanooga Choochoo for my interest in trains, except there's no indication what it looked like! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby No Mac Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Sign me up. I've been toying with the idea of interpreting Frederick Forsyth's The Shepherd for some years now, this GB could spur me on to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Me too please - probably something 007 themed, as you suggest. Alternatively, if someone's produced a kit of a National Express coach..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm wondering if you're thinking in terms of 'self-preservation'? In that case I think they'd be something in old white metal bus kits that would give you the basis of a plan🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is TV included ? If so I can always do a Corsair from the Black-sheep squadron TV show of the late 70’s. Basically a -4 or -5 in WW2 camouflage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will you be holding back for the crucial 30th name? Not that there's room for divas on this sound stage 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agents photos of the stars in the 70s series are definitely a period piece!

Paul821 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 As I require a number of local buildings for my project I think I'll put my name down for a building from the Lovejoy series built in card. The series was filmed in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I've already done a "film" Dambuster using the ancient Revell kit - the decal for which replicate the film markings, whereas newer kits are all 617 style! Reach for the Sky - the film gives you BOB marked Mk.XVIe with DB losing his leg bailing out of a bubble-top. For the newer Dunkirk there's the Yakfire cameraship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
