Dropships from Battletech are often egg or ball shaped. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2aPlAnVBuHw/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/e7/69/45e769a6982cce8232f0ff5619fcebd4.png
Actually a large range of table top wargaming miniatures. Many of the early models of mechs were just repurposed model kits from Macross, Dougram and Cursher Joe. Battletech was later on a cartoon series that had toys that were meh. If you've heard of Mechwarrior, that is actually set in the Battletech universe. It's rather deep in lore and detail, maybe not as much as Warhammer 40K.
Long ago, i read a story that said the SW escape pod was built using a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. I do wonder if that was just a concept model, as thin card wouldn't hold up well to the rigours of studio filming!
Mork from Ork's Egg Ship.I liked to swap it out with the escape pod on my Land of the Jawas Playset
ReplyDeleteha ha, like it Brian! Nanu Nanu!
DeleteAlso seen as the presidential escape pod in John Carpenter's Escape from New York

I like those Lance. Is Battletech a range of toys?

ReplyDeleteI suppose if the bucket was still full of chicken it might have worked Looey! ha ha. These are not the birds your looking for!
