Thread: So, Sky Captain any one?

    Default So, Sky Captain any one?

    I realize it's a stretch, but the flying robots are so cool. Any idea of their height? The movie was done in animation and so relative scale is relatively arbitrary. I am guessing 50 foot to start with, I will make a prototype and play test with it.

    Might be tempted to cast a dozen for fun. The aircraft are the easy parts.

    HHmmm..... I would answer, but I cannot stop the drool from running down my chin!!!!

    On a serious note. I would guess 50 foot or some where around that. Whatever it is, I am interested to see what the final solution is.

    Looking at a 75' height which scales out 4.5" at 1/200" scale - I want a tall robot! Now to figure out the hinged arms and wing flares . . . these will be a just for fun build - but then they all are!
