Z Force Floating Gun Platform

Post by scoobydie »

This has been lying about for a while until a suitable weapon for the top could be found.
Thanks to the charity shop and hey presto!!
Been trying out the Acrylic spray paints for cars and this is the grey primer, loads of paint for little dollar and super fast drying time too :)

A green Wolverine shell on a float with a "Woolies special" turret on top,
Airborne is all there just a different helmet and a make-shift mike from the twirly things that attatch the toys in the boxes.

Great work Andy looks really good.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Its Airborne with a grey and green make over, probably go back and add some more detail to him later.

Youve just recreated one of my childhood toys! Used to take the tracks off my wolverine and place it in a q float to play with in the bath..

Ive mentioned this a few times and the baron scoffed at me when I tried to recreate it once...

Nice custom! Wish I could pick up some of those turrets from somewhere...

This was to prove it could be done :)
Although there was a little cutting to get a snug fit in the flotation ring.
