That is damn fantastic !!! Not too long ago I came across a box with those mini rigs, indeed a little trip back in time.

AWESOME work Jason! Great project. Man, I'm on a vintage Kenner trip at the moment too. Just found a load of my old ships in the attic at my parents house. Great memories for sure!

Oh - please check your PM's. I sent a message your way.

Cheers,

Chris

I'm digging this thread, man. Seriously, this is impressive. Have you considered on ILMizing any of other Kenner specific toys from the line?

Oh yeah, the bubble domed tank is next. And there is another person out there making another one, and I hope we both can debut them at Wonderfest. Both are obnoxious and 1/6th scale, lol!

I was looking at this thread and it made me think back to GI joe vehicles that didn't get much love after a while that would be neat in larger scale lol

The Water Moccasin!

I was thinking of those weapons drones they had for a while too, a flamethrower one i think, one with guns, and one that was a missile launcher with tracks. Or have a 1:6 scale pogo for giant figures.

Engine cowlings are done. Now I work out the mechanics of the front and rear step/hatches. The toy has a simple hinge which I will use as a reference for the pivot points, but I'll add pistons, like a hatchback deck, or X-Wing canopy.
