The Weapon Transport vehicle I always thought was a cool idea, however could have been executed better. The bomb that it comes with has a different dumbell shaped hole than all other bombs and missiles, so it can't be used as a substitute armament for any vehicle. Also, the dumbell shaped peg on the little trailer does not fit any existing missile or bomb for any aircraft. So it doesn't synergise, doesn't really interact with any other vehicles.
The fuel truck for the USS Flagg is a great sub vehicle and really adds to the playability of the Flagg and any aircraft (I assume this, I don't actually own a Flagg, and, living in Australia, I probably never will). So this towable missile rack fits a similar play scenario. I thought it would be clever to design the hitch in the way I did, so it would fit not just the existing Weapon Transport vehicle, but any vehicle with a universal tow hook. Unfortunately the articulation makes it easy for it to pop up and out of the tow hook. It needs to be something more rigid, so I'll need to redesign that. I discovered not all dumbell shaped attachment holes on missiles are exactly the same, so the pegs I designed for this is an average of all of them, and they work very well, with the exception of the long narrow missile for the 25th Skystriker. It's a little loose. Last edited by Marty; 12-09-2017 at 11:38 PM.. |

Very cool! Again, this must have been a nightmare to clean up after printing. (How long did this print take, BTW?) You were able to print the hinged tongue all as one "piece" instead of having to assemble it?

Neat. It makes the weapons transport more useful.

This is super nice. Good idea, and well executed. Would like awesome on the deck of the Flagg. Great work.

Just curious.
If I was to invest in a 3D Printer are there many designs like this for G.I. Joe related products available?
