Earthbound Into Space GB (finally a name )
Posted by DanCooper on Wednesday, December 14, 2005 4:12 PM
Recently I started building Trumpeter's SSN-21 Seawolf, and though the hull far away from perfect or even accurate, it struck me that the shape would be a great starter to build a futuristic spaceship.
So, I wonder if there would be enough interest for a Sci-Fi build where "ordinary" earth vehicles are changed into spaceships ?

Some ideas :

Cruiseship becomes luxurious spacecruise,
Truck becomes spacetruck (ever seen the movie ?)
Warship becomes spaceship....

Anything goes ( but I don't really see you guys turn a bycicle into spacefighter Smile [:)] )

I will join the build sounds fun. If I can figure some thing out. Maybe a 1/72 tank made in to a space tank? without tracks but with engines.

I guess, at the moment there are not many people interested in a GB on this.  But I'm going to go ahead with it anyway.
Glad to have you on board, FrogFoot, it will be a less lonely journey with you in.
I hope that others will join us in this little project so that this will become a real GB instead of a "Duobuild".

Some rules (for those who would like to jump in later on)

-Any subject goes, as long as it starts out as a kit from any normal "Earthvehicle", the endresult must be a spaceship.
-Starting date : December 25 2005
-Final ending date : December 26 2006
- NO Star Wars and NO Star Trek ships allowed (there are many GB for those subjects elsewhere)
- Post Pictures of in-progress work

- FrogFoot                                            Tank becomes spaceship
- YOU                                                  ?????????????????????

BTW, anyone knows if there is a way to change the name of the tread ?

To change the name of thread just go to your first post and click edit then change the subject on top. Think that should work.

Now I need to find a 1/72 tank cut up think I will use my Hasegawa Panther thats no good.
