Hello everyone, I am new here. I am looking to build my own Flagg. I am calling it the USS F.R.U.G.A.L.L.
My plan is simple, I want to cut a single piece of wood the exact shape and size as the deck of the original flagg, so that means the exact size of all the deck plates assembled including the elevator but without the bridge attached to it. I am looking for precise measurements of the deck. That would ideally include angles as it is oddly shaped. Once I have this I will cut a single piece of wood, paint it to match the original, and order stickers from toyhax. I think I will then evaluate buying a bridge on ebay or making my own. I will also raise it double height as is often seen done with real flaggs following the GIJoberg Ultimate USS FLAGG mod. So please if you can help me out I would really appreciate it. Can anyone help me out? I would be amazed if the exact dimensions aren't already online but if no one knows where to point me, can someone who owns a flagg take exact measurements of the deck without the bridge and send them to me? I would very much appreciate it. |

Here is a link to the post with the answer http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...imensions.html Here is a link to the answer itself. Vehicle/playset dimensions - JCWiki Edit: sorry I miss read your post. The measurements In this video to for a base to accommodate the trusses, bow and stern sections. However I think the video series would help you in your project. It’s worth a watch, all 3 parts. Best of luck in your project. Measurements at the 6 min mark. My only advice, follow Michael’s system of plywood for the inner walls, not dimensional lumber. It’s not supporting snow loads or roofing material. You should have enough plywood left over from the main cut to make your walls. The plywood would also be easier to cut doorways into if you wanted to. You can trace the doorways off of the upper tower door ways. And add some wheels to the bottom. Hope this helps. I just got my Flagg and will be doing the same.

Thanks for the reply. I love Michael and retroblasting. Ive seen every video and watched this series a few times which definitely encouraged the "itch" to get a F.L.A.G.G.
