I spent the last month going through all of my storage boxes to find the USS Flagg parts spread throughout the basement and attic.
After finding all the parts, I had to build the table. It's 12' by 4'. The bow of the ship will hang off of the table. Haven't figured out the best way to do that yet. Maybe a flip-up edge? Any thoughts? These are the expansion deckplates. They're made of plywood and scrap wood. The deckplates will need finessing at the edges as the project progresses. The plate that is noticeably lower than the rest of the deck will be the elevator. It is large enough for a Skystriker with its wings open. Should I use a pulley system or a rail system to move it up and down? I might just add ledges for the elevator deck to sit on when in the "up" position, but remove it like a tray to set in the "down" position. Instead of Skystrikers, I'll be loading the flightdeck with Storm Eagles and Vectors. This will be a visual cheat, as they're underscaled and will make the Flagg look larger than it is at a first glance. The next big step will be to build risers on which the trusses will set (the GIJoeburg technique). This will double the space under the flight deck. After that I'll sculpt the ocean waves onto the table. Last edited by Clockwise; 10-26-2017 at 05:11 PM.. |

I like what I see so far. I'll be interested in checking out the progress of this as you move the project along.

This is looking good!
Interested to see how you incorporate your own "Joeburg" stand into this. Gotta ask, why not lose the whole Flagg deck and just build your own? Nostalgia? |
