Anyone heard news of the 1/12 scale Blade Runner Spinner kit that Randy is working on? I peaked on his web page and there have been some advancements in the kit,but I was wodering if anyone else had heard any other or NEW information regarding the Spinner? I'm saving $ for one,I only fear what the $$$ might be(but worth every penny)
Randy Cooper's 1/12 Spinner

You should take a look at his Facebook page, there are a bunch of Photos of his progress there, it's looking really great!!!
I don't know IF I'll ever be able to afford one... but it's going to be GREAT!!!

I'm hoping the price will hover(pardon the pun) in the $300-$400 range,but that may just be wishful thinking.I'd like to know if it is coming with a "light kit" for the cock pit and the outside flashers/light bar.That's what I'd like to know.What's his facebook page by the way?
Just do a search for his name on Facebook, he's the only one with "MINIATURE BUILDER / PROTOTYPE WORK / CONCEPTUAL DESIGN" listed on his page...
I saw the shots of it in progress and I think he's aiming for a price of $450-$475 range. I know it sounds steep but this is a Randy Cooper kit probably one of the most accurate kits of a spinner being made next to the studio model . I would buy one in a heartbeat but I'm in between work, :unsure (un-employed) in other words Lol.

Since Randy's got plans and given his skills, this will be a great model.
I think it unlikely that Randy will supply a lighting kit, since in the past he has left that to other specialists ( Voodoo do lights for some of his other kits I think.)
Certainly both the blockade runner and sand crawler kits are made so as to make lighting fairly straightforward.

Hey Randy, I noticed on your Facebook that you're in Tampa; I live in North Tampa, myself.
Are you going to MetroCon at the Tampa Convention Center by any chance? I'm going to dress up as Deckard while I'm there, lol.Okay, back on topic. I would LOVE to have one of these Spinners, but I know I just can't afford it. :\
I saw this in person at Wonderfest. (He brought the pattern to display with the other Studio Scale models.) Yes it looks great. Yes he is still working on it. I gave him some plans (blueprints off of the original) and others have given him a stack of photos. There were differences between the full size prop, the 44" model and 15" model. At some point an artistic decision will have to be made, but I trust Randy completely with that. Go here - Randy Cooper Models

I give him too scaled blueprints (in fact the ones he pictured in his blog) and tons of reference pics. The more the better

Guys... in case you don't know voodoofx is not the same Randy as Randy Cooper...
Voodoo Fx is a different person with the same first name. Voodoo makes lighting kits and very good ones.
Randy Cooper makes model kits.
