[Brinn 71]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

 

[LOPIE]

WOW. Masterful workmanship.

 

[barryo]

alrighty then...................another wip of the rear door. it still has a few more tweaks to go such as adding wires/hoses and maybe a few more little odds & ends but i wanted to show you all before it got to the primered & painted stage.

its getting closer & closer all the time.........

wanted to work on the cab interior this weekend but have a FL state motorcycle rally in town........

so this weekend will be about beer, bikes, & babes............not necessarily in that order.............

 

[the dude person]

Wow that's great!

I love how it already has the Star Wars logo on it!



Amazing work, someday I hope to be able to create a similar masterpiece!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

OW MY WORD!! A weekend of debauchery, intoxicating beverages, fast moving far to noisy engine powered bicycles and ladies of sinful morals.... I am sorry but the guild does not allow such things. Brother Barryo, save yourself close the curtains, put on The Sound of Music and sing along with the family Von Trap, I fear the worst my friend even if I left now in the Guilds peddle powered Preacher Helicopter I would not be able to reach you in time due to severe cross winds over the ocean at moment......

I will be thinking of you poor brother Barryo.

ow nice back door btw.

 

[sithlord13]

ow nice back door btw.

*giggle* sorry beavis and butthead moment

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Dooh Brother Sithlord... might have guessed u were a backdoor man.

 

[barryo]

............

your right mark............what was i thinking......

i promise i will change my evil ways..............


















starting next week..........

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ahh thank the maker another lost soul is saved

 

[galactiboy]

Holy crap man!!! I missed a lot of updates... but this project is just barreling ahead at full steam

I'm incredibly impressed with how well you've been able to replicate the vintage vehicle.

 

[barryo]

thanks J.............


still a ways to go though.....

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, but you've got a hell of a start. I imagine getting all of the figure pods to line up will be a pain, but I have a feeling you'll rock it out.

BTW, how much does this thing weigh? Looks like it's going to be a beast

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

It weighs more than ma momma. Ow my words what got into me!!

 

[jkno]

Are those the lower part of the Tomy helmets? Really imaginative!!

 

[barryo]

right now it doesnt weigh much at all, the wood is thicker than the kind i first started with but it's still fairly light. maybe 3 or 4 pounds with everything right now. (i should put it on a scale) once the pods get added and figures & batteries......probably quite a bit more like in the 9-10 pound range......

 

[barryo]

Are those the lower part of the Tomy helmets? Really imaginative!!

yes they are.....

i thought they had a cool engine-ey look to them.

 

[Chakaman]

geezus man! That door looks sensational. Incredible job!!

 

[Desert 2]

I like the propeller the most.




Dang that thing is going to go fast.

 

[barryo]

I like the propeller the most.




Dang that thing is going to go fast.

................i don't know why it had one but on the original that sure is what it looks like (only recessed). maybe it was to cover their tracks....................

 

[Desert 2]

You know... it seemed familiar somehow, though to be honest I'd forgotten all about it.


Funny how excited I am to see this project of yours come along. Really, I think it was the 1978 or 79 Sears Christmas catalog was the last time I was so giddy over SW toys.

Keep 'em coming.
