Just on a whim, I looked at rotating display stuff big enought to fit a Gunship or maybe an ATTE.....
They wanted almost as much as the ships cost.... For a rotating cart for seasonings in your cupboard?
And my wife has a few already?They are a little small for my gunship, but that could be modified for under $1....
I have got just the right size scraps from a sheet of 3/8 inch plywood in the garage.... and a hand saw to cut it.... might need a soda when I am done....
And she caught me......  and I had better try this while she is not at home.....
Maybe tomorrow morning....

DRS, I was thinking about doing the same thing so that I could pose a figure and then take 360 degree photos without moving my camera or the figure.... Or take a 360 degree rotating video of the figure or ship to display on youtube.

it's a great Idea to use a lazy susan... that's what my dad suggested lol.  great minds all think alike I guess...

let us know how it goes with yours!

and the vehicle repaints are great RED-two.  I can't wait to bust out the several action fleet models I want to do!  my creative drive is itching!

Alright before I post this, just want to say don't get your hopes up on this one lol. A fellow reviewer (who will remain anonymous) and I were working on a combined project: Action Fleet Outrider. He would do the kit-bashing, and I would do the painting. For ships, we used the B-Wing and Millennium Falcon. I sent the 2 ships to him back in February. A few weeks ago his pc died and he needed a new one, I haven't heard from him since. Everytime I would ask about it he either doesn't answer me or says he lost the stuff. It sucks because I paid for those 2 ships, as well as the shipping to him.  Anyway, here's what we had so far.



I was really looking forward to painting it too. Oh well.  :(

aww man that realy sucks.  I promise not to jip you like that bud!  I'm a man of my word... the only thing I might not follow through on is deadlines.... lol

that seemed like a pretty solid concept though.   However, I would go about it slightly differently I think. 

unfourtunately those are the two ships I don't have duplicates of and even if I did I don't think I could cut them up in that way! lol

Really bold move on customizing old vehicles like that. You must have some big cahones to do that , I meant that in a respectful way like, you didn't screw it up. You did good but, I would rather customize nw vejicles instead of old ones.

normally we only customize our spares... or shell out the cash on convieniently cheap e-bay auctions to get the spares we need.

It seems like there will always be a steady suply of old collections going up for auction... at least in the near future.  I think at any given time that I've checked there has always been about 6 pages of action fleet vehicles for sale on e-bay.

Here's a quick peek at what I've been working on. Its the concept design of the cloud car by Ralph McQuarrie. As of now this is the only image I've seen of the concept design.




And here's my work in progress






I'd say its about 90% done. And a little trick I learned - if you get paint on the cockpit plastic, a toothpick will easily take off the paint, and won't leave any scratch marks.  :)

I also posted this in my AF collection thread, hope its not a problem?  :-\
