Future Marine

[rv1963]

Here are some pictures of an almost scratch built Marine of the future, the original figure was a pvc toy of the joker from the first Batman movie. Both guns all the armor helmet backpack all scratch built from sheet styrene and spare model parts, the controls on the gattling gun are gas, brake and clutch pedals from a 1/24 scale race car, the decals are from a F16 fighter plain. This was a lot of fun to put together and cheap to.

WOW very impressive mate, you sure know how to turn out a kit! the only thing that i can pick up on is the F-16 decals seem to be on up-side-down, did you mean to do this or was this an accident?

I didn't even notice the stars were on wrong oh well, not to bad for a cash out lay of about $7.00.

rv1963, glad too see you make mistakes like the rest of us mortals... iwas begining too think you were the god of modelling ! :-)

saying that i still think it's an outstanding figure you've created there !

I'll be adding my Han Solo/ Imperial Storm Trooper soon!

James i am mortal and make plenty of mistakes after all the years i have been building models i guess i have becaome good at hiding my mistakes, also this kit was done well over 10 years ago. Have you made any progress on your Karnstein kit.

You obviously have the talent to go with the imagination. Very nice. I didn't even notice the decals, had to go back after I read Phantom Major's post.

This is one of those cheap projects that i just loved creating, i don't think i will ever get rid of it.
