Scratch-built Antigravity flying boat – build review

Neil Wooding of Redflare Model Studio
www.redflare.tech

Here’s how it all turned out…

“Big Bertha” flying boat at Weston Hills dockyard.

Background

As a big fan of Ian Mcque’s artwork, I wanted to create a tribute to his work. Ian Mcque is a Scottish illustrator famous for his concept work on Solo, Mortal Engines and other such great movies and shows over the years as well as gaming titles like Grand Theft Auto 2.

I love his work and have some of his prints on my office wall, so felt that it was time to do something of my own. A few garage kits exist of his work, but I wanted to create a flying boat using some 1:35 scale parts and figures so out came the styrene and parts box.

I had an old coffee machine and the inner coffee holder was perfect for the underside of the boat, so that is where I started…

The Lore of Hostile Realms™

stasis-pod1

In that portentous year of 2054, Earth was visited by chance, by an alien race, soon to be known by the name Flexani. This unprecedented event in human history forever changed the way that mankind viewed the universe. Interstellar travel, once an unattainable dream, was transformed almost overnight, into an opportunity to indulge that most driving of human traits, exploration and exploitation of the unknown.

The First Contact with the Flexani and the following initial inter-species relationships, despite intial human fears, based in no small measure upon the influence of Hollywood, were positive as the Flexani expertise in medical techniques became apparent and were shared freely across the globe. As we all now know, cancer, AIDs and even the common cold were banished to the history books.
