Anyone ever decide to make a totally fictional model?

Mike!

     Luv them all. You really let your imagination run didn't you. Great stuff !

Hi;

       Yup. I've done that years ago. They can be fun. I even went so far as to turn the Titanic into a 1912 " SuperTanker" what if. Now As to Clive Cussler's ships mentioned. I have a long time W.I.P of one of the ships From N.U.M.A. mentioned in at least three of the Novels. With Mr.Cussler's permission. I have shown it twice, But Never entered in Competition with it. 

    Just didn't want to have to justify it to the judges who don't know that N.U.M.A. does exist as a foundation founded by Mr.Cussler for underwater research.The Earnings from part of his income from books funds many of their ship finding expeditions. 

as a high school kid, yes, all the time. I made sci-fi space craft. I remember cobbling together the "Frankenstein" Haunted Tank from the comic books. Monogram reissued Aurora submarines like the Skipjack and Wolfpack U-boats became starships.

     Lots of stuff in my head but getting to the table.....open circuit. Love the stuff posted here already, can't wait to see more. You guys are so cool.

So creative!love that steam punk WW1 tank!

I'm getting ready to begin another of my warship to starship conversions in the basic style of Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato.  So far I have the Space Assault Ship Toronoga, Fire Support Ship William Tell, and Interdiction ship Aweeny Todd.  Keeping with the theme, more places around the planet discovered that it would be easier to convert old and sunken warships for use in space that start from scratch.

Joining the fleet will be th Battlecruiser Prince of Sherwood Forrest.  It will be based on a British Battleship and have two engines, one mounted above the other.  The primary weapons will look the same but many shanges and additions will be made along the way.

In a time when I had overdosed on Clive Cussler novels, I built a highly accurate model of one of the small ships that is never mentioned in the books, the .

There may be more to come.

Yes!I was thinking of that movie when I sketched it out.

Now that is cool! Looks like it could be buzzing around in that zany old movie...

Drive em nuts !lol

Sounds fun.  Keeps the rivet counters at bay 

I have lots of stuff to add!

Hi,

A few years ago I started a 3D print model of a small cruise ship IK kind of made up.  Unfortunately I rtan into issues on not being fully sure how to proceed in a couple areas and set it aside for awhile, and now I have alot of homeowner things I need to address before I can get back to it.

I agree though that doing a completely made up build can be fun, and your plane looks very interesting.

I've occasionally used damaged or scrapped models...plus stuff from the 'spares' box...to build wildly-improbable aircraft. They usually come out looking like 'Sky Pirates' or 1930s comic-book designs. Finished off with 'spares' decals as well...leaning toward shark mouths, lightning-bolts, and some interesting combinations of insignia.

Nice work on your WW1 bird, by the way...but it needs floats. It looks like something the RN would have used during the Dardanelles campaign, like a cousin to the Short 184.
