SWORD-Y-KINS - The Fleet's New Members: Dyna-Soar, Space Glider and Scout 3









Hot off the work bench (well actually an easy chair and a tray) the latest in my fleet of SWORD-Y-KINS: miniature Dyna-Soar Glider, Space Glider and Scout 3 complete with custom mini-boxes! The 2 Gliders were originally part of the Space Voyagers set I got recently at TK Maxx and the Scout 3 is a small Star Wars Imperial Cruiser I found at a boot sale. Personally I think the Scout 3 has come out the best - there's a comparison with the larger original below. Not perfect by a long chalk but that was'nt my intention. The 2 glider boxes are completely 'made-up' from bits of the original box art but the Scout 3 box is a miniaturised replica of the real thing taken from WOTAN's 'cut out and keep' template in the side-bar! Anyways see what you think. Maybe you feel like having a go at miniaturising too? - OK I know Spacex/ Golden Astronaut/ APEX * have done it for us but DIY 's much more fun and far less expensive or time-consuming!
(* APEX = Apollo Exploring/ Apollo Moon Exploring)
