Several years ago {with the help of a friend of mine} I created accurate Vac Domes for the 28" C-57D kit.
This was followed by an accurate version of the Landing Pad, which allowed for in-flight display of this overly LARGE kit...
But there's so much more to Tell...
Since 2009, my design team - The RE-VISIONEERS -
have been developing uber-accurate plans of for the C-57D
as seen in the MGM film Forbidden Planet.
Sometime around 2010, as a direct result of the popularity my C-57D aftermarket accessories -
I was approached by a Model Co. who expressed interest in my participation in upgrading the large 28" kit.
Soon afterward, my design team & I entered into separate negotiations
regarding a licensing agreement to render our C-57D plans in 1/144th scale -
to be used in making patterns for a completely retooled C-57D model kit.
They ended up not using the RE-VISSIONEER plans...
but there's more to the story!
Because I had verbally entered a Non Disclosure Agreement -
I've been holding my breath for almost 2 years.
Now that the kit-cat is out of the bag, I can breathe easy...
I'm currently participating on a pilot for a new webcast hobby-show
& if there is any interest {here at RPF} and as soon as I am able,
I'd like to share {via YouTube } the Rest of this story...
