Workin' on making my own USS Flagg out of my custom diorama coffee table...
I never had a USS Flagg but after seeing some of the amazing customs of some (and the original Flagg toy of course) I was inspired to create my own. The base I started with was actually a shelf that I rescued from our garage sale--my wife was going to let it go for $5... it didn't sell, so I repurposed it to form the skeleton. Not entirely accurate, but it makes a great table base and is incredibly sturdy. When I started looking at it, that's what gave me the idea too... the base has two "fins" that flare out to the sides, like the sides of a ship, so I immediately thought of making a large ship and then I thought of the Flagg. Yesterday I made a plan and cut a large spare piece of MDF I had to shape (I'll upload the plans later if people are interested in seeing them) and painted with grey primer today. The tower is a Spiderman and Friends firehouse I've repurposed... I moved the 2nd floor so that it's a little taller and Joes can stand up straight in it now... Not the greatest shape but I don't have anything else at the moment that even comes close to a Tower. The rest is electrical tape and masking tape. The big "99" is from a printer, cut and glued in place. The best part? When I need it to be a coffee table again, I just need to clear the table and flip the top over... I managed to use my router to bevel the edges with a nice finish ... sure it's an odd shape but it's about the right size. May not be the greatest piece but also might be good for other "temporary" dioramas and playdays... land battles and such when the Flagg isn't needed. Hope you enjoy, and let me know if you want more pics! You can get an idea of the size here, compared to the TRU True Heroes Cobra Moray knock off...

That's cool. No way I could ever do that. My kids would tear it apart.
