1/300(?) UD4L Dropship From scratch!

[armamentfactory]

Hi guys, I just signed up & I'd like to share a little project.


It's only 3 inches long, maybe a little too tiny to see.
It does everything except fly & deploy microscopic Colonial Marines. :lol

Pics are a little off... I need a better camera.

Here are some of the build pics too.

New character arrives! The dropship isn't complete without it.

APC turret, stowed & deployed position.

Size comparison with a standard 9mm blade cutter.

Awesome work bro... love teh detail... I love making tiny scale from scratch... this is a great project! Would love to see more!

 

[I Am The Law]

Amazing!

I have the 1:72 Aoshima die-cast of both, and I have to say... that's brilliant - the stowing APC gun is genius. This thing should be retailed by MicroMachines!

Holy crap this is cool. I can't believe nobody ever thought of making toys of them this size before. I agree this looks like it should be a micromachine.

Somebody should show this to Adam Savage - he used to be a toy pattern maker - I bet he'd get a real kick out of seeing it.

The most recent addition to the IMDF. They'll like it now that they lost their Protheus.

I'm digging it!
I've scratch-built some small-scale models before but honestly, nothing quite this intricate.
Great work!

Thanks guys! Glad you like it.

Speaking of Micro Machines...

That's the old Galoob dropship next to mine.
And I built a couple other micro objects.

When did they make a drop ship micromachine? I've never seen one before.

They were made in the mid 90's. Here's a link with pics of the whole set.

Ah no wonder a lot of people didn't know about them, by that time the Micromachine craze was kinda dying down around here at least.
