    From the Dreamwave G1 comic.

    Anyway, to paraphrase an old James Bond poster...I think it was for Goldfinger...

    damn. it almost looks like you got that thing straight out of the comic you had posted.

    how do you put details of the plastic you used? are you in montreal? DAMN. lots of quebec bashers here. i feel so tiny compared to you and ptitvite.

    *edit*
    HOLY SHIT! the store owner from le coin du jouet was talking about you and your site months back. DAMN. i recognize the website!

    That's pretty cool. Any ideas on how you plan to realize the cargo/lynx unit?

    well yes i,m from beloel actually.... and as for feeling tiny dont worry you,ll grow ;)  we all have to start somewhere !!

    as for the coin du jouet ,you must know serge then ? we talk allot actually lol very nice guy and he,s a walking encyclopedia when it comes to finding answers to any hobby problems so if you need anything he,s one of the best reference around trust me ;) 

    as for the detail in the plastic, it,s a shuttle model so it comes very detailled out of the box but i,ll be adding more details soon.....

    What about using Rocket boosters instead of the standard Box shaped Lynx and making it more of a "realistic version"? Unless you are going for compete accuracy with that comic image.

    that,s not a bad idea... but the problem is to get the boosters and tanks at this scale.... i dont even know if they do that....

    anyway the cuting continues !!!

    This would be a excellent base to be used for a over sized high detailed galaxy shuttle also.

    I think if you get some PVC pipes and scratch build them, and just model it after the real photo's of the shuttle.

    Man, while I can't wait for the Metroplex to be finished, this one's got me excited as well.

    The fact that his lines are so well done is amazing. This one is definitely high on my anticipation list.
