captain america Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi everyone. I started this thread in order to gauge interest for a potential 1/72 Commanchero model, since I had mentioned the topic previously and was met by some enthusiasm by board members. That having been said, my goal would be to have a model that would have clear vac-formed canopies and detailed cockpits, optional rocket pods and the option to have deployed or retracted landing gear. I was looking at 120-ish bucks as a goal also. All those who are interested, feel free to chime-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way I managed to get matchstick-thick landing struts to hold up a beached whale like the Gnerl: inserts Honestly, I think that once you can get anime-accurate landing gear on something like that project and not have it collapse under its own weight, most everything else is child's play.

Some thin metal flat stock ought to do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson72 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well that makes 30 so far, how many you lookin' for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I could accomodate almost double that, but another dozen couldn't hurt. I will start drafting plans for the Commanchero on Monday. I also plan to pick up a 1/72 Mi-24 to see if there could be some interesting parts to scavenge for the sake of realism and parts commonality.
