Simply the best custom Jumbo work ever done. This looks really amazing and looks super pro. Really inspirational, thanks for that.

Excuse the quick, inside messy shop photos. Might be too dark by the time I get home to take some nicer shots. Also, ignore the windshield some, was the test fit white one, but colored blue while I am making a mold for a new one.
Otherwise, looks pretty sharp I think. The ship has quite a bit of SOC influence and isn't a kiddie ride-on toy.

Thanks Mike. While the SOC was a major influence (I like it the best of the ships), I also looked at the original jumbo ship and took snips from the cartoon series to try and blend in some of the style and features from those. When looking at the different ships, the small 3" small diecast, GA-37, SOC, ...... they all have their own look, so building my own custom version didn't feel too bad for not being precisely like any version.
Will start on yours here shortly.

Can I order the deluxe model with the felt & the lights? <ducks> j/k Most anything is possible for the right price  Was hard to show the progress until all the pieces were put together. Might have to send you one without any paint on it and see if you can work sticker magic on it Thanks for the compliments and humor. |

Yeah, so I am not a jumbo guy, but if you decide to make a few more of these, you'll have to let us know. This and a grendizer would look great with my jumbo voltron, he's so lonely with all my diecast LoL.

Fantastic work! What an amazing job!
My only comment would be regarding the wheels - those remind me too much of office chairs. Have you tried to find a different set of wheels online?

Guess I went with the office chair ones as they were all black and thought maybe they would give a sleeker look instead of caster wheels with galvanized side plates. But, I can see if you were around office chairs all the time, that would be a different impression.

Yeah, maybe its just me. Working in an office environment and fighting with these chairs at home too at my desks makes me just very used to seeing these for a specific application. But just disregard my comments - this is a top notch job. Count me as very impressed! |
