This is the first time i've seen it, but it looks pretty cool. Good use of flagg parts.

I was just searching the web to see if this old creation of mine could still be found, and that brought me here. I built this through the spring and summer of 2000. My idea at the time was that toy shows were boring and since I had built a lot of custom figures and vehicles, why not create something that could rival the Flagg, and be a centerpiece at toy shows. I have additional photos I could dig up and post of this project. I’ll try to label the parts I used. I remember the total cost to build it was just under $1000. Sadly I never completed it and sold it along with the rest of my collection in 2002. I’ve always wondered what became of it.

Thank you. Let’s see if this works.
This is a picture taken early on while I was planning the layout. The missile tubes were rolled sheet plastic used for creating architectural models. I used a lot of this type of plastic in various thicknesses, patterns and finishes. The deck when finished was covered with plastic diamond plate in 1:18 scale. One of my custom Cobra interceptor jets can be seen in the pic. I made four of these with the 1998 Conquest reissues by cutting off the forward swept wings and replacing them with a wing shape closer to the wing profile of an F-5E.
