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.
This is awesome!
Ok, right off the bat, what are the dimensions of this custom, if you remember? So, about how wide and how long was the finished product?
Reson why I am asking is, I love the playability of the USS Flagg, but quite frankly, most of it is just a big landing platform. At 7ft long, it's too big to display in most rooms. Then take into consideration how many people end up customizing a bottom deck for added play value. I've got my own set of plans drawn for a bottom deck for my Flagg.
Now, seeing this custom battleship, I'm thinking this may be a better alternative to having a large ocean vessel with a custom bottom deck diorama that doesn't take up as much space as the USS Flagg. So, any information you can give is greatly appreciated. I am definitely creating a folder to save images of this to.
