Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-02-2010

Here is the Launch Tube for the Moebius 1/32 scale Viper kit.
I am working on a little more detal to the kit but should have it all worked out in a few days. Dodgy

It is 18" long by 9 3/4" wide, will have kits in next week. Cool

Please PM me for the cost of this kit. Smile

DAMN!

That looks sweet to me so far! Love to see one all weathered up?

Um, excuse me for asking but I see what looks like a Kodak camera back there? Is that a spare since you obviously snapped a pic without it? I'm just curious because it looks like a couple I've had and I'm wondering which model and how you like it? Sorry for the derailment here.

Yeah- Bitchin Launching bay!!!

RE: Launching Viper! - 427 Cobra - 11-02-2010

That looks like a Nikkon Cook Pix, but they all look about the same these days. I love the idea of a scaled down version of the Viper since there are so many big ones out there all ready. A launching bay for it would be great for those who have this kit!

I could be totally wrong about that camera which was a "detour" anyways?

But to build a launch bay in scale with the available 'mass produced' kits of the Vipers themselves is the only viable way in terms of hopefully turning a profit- and isn't that the point of a kit? Besides making something available to some appreciative folks. Wink

Having a couple of the plastic Vipers (Revell repops) I could covet this kit as the perfect setting for one! Cool

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-02-2010

Sorry for the Picts, I not all that good a taking pictures. The Kodak camera is a 7.2 M763 it is 7 years old and at the time was a good camera. Now I have a Kodak 10x easy share z915 so I am still working on better pictures.

Aha! Didn't want to derail your thread but I just replaced my stolen Kodak with another, an M530. I couldn't afford much right now and I'm happy with it for the price. Cool

I wish you luck with your kit plans but I think if the price is "right" you should sell a butt-load of em! Big Grin

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-02-2010

Thanks DarthDuck, I hope I sell a lot? But I think $100.00 is not bad for a kit this size?
Like I sed, I need to do a littel more work to it an give it some primer as well. Then we will see
what it will look like?

RE: Launching Viper! - JAWS - 11-03-2010

I like it. Nice work Chris. Maybe you will consider making an OS Launch Tube for a Salzo SS? Keep up the good work mate.

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-03-2010

Thanks Jason! We will need to talk on it?

What the HELL?!?! Sorry guys - that was COOL PIX when I posted it lastnight. I knew I was tired, or something, but DAMN!!! I'm embarrased now! Blush

$100 bucks for something like that would be more than reasonable for the modeling forums. REL's selling his 1/72nd scale X-wing prototype for $85.00, so this is a great price for a Viper launcher tube, especially when no one else is offering one. You might as well get in on the action while the getting's good!

RE: Launching Viper! - dbhs - 11-07-2010

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-15-2010

Ok! I now have it all done!!:thumbup: I will need to pant it when I have some time. Kits are ready to go, please PM me for purchase. :cheers:

RE: Launching Viper! - 427 Cobra - 11-15-2010

I think I just soiled myself, Beavis!! Where was this kit back in the day?

~ Cobra Chris

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 11-16-2010

Thanks Cobra!

RE: Launching Viper! - 427 Cobra - 11-16-2010

You say this is only 18" inches long? Very impressive!! This looks like a BIG kit at this size. You won't have any problems selling this anywhere! Wink

RE: Launching Viper! - chrisp47 - 12-07-2011

That looks like a Nikkon Pix, Yeah man you did a great job.

RE: Launching Viper! - JAWS - 12-08-2011

I agree.
Now someone needs to make an SS OS Launch tube for the MSLZZ22 Studio Scale Viper.

RE: Launching Viper! - Snake Plissken - 12-10-2011

I would if I had a MSLZZ22 Studio Scale Viper! Let me know who sells the kit?

Thanks!

RE: Launching Viper! - JAWS - 12-10-2011

Oh, just so happens that I now own the SS Viper Masters from MSLZ22 Models aswell as the SS Raider & will start casting them up later this month.
