murderofcrows Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Well as I have stated time and time again, I am an Avengers Fan. One thing I have always wanted was a QuinJet for my mates...I have been hoping that the Marvel Universe Line would release a 3.75 scale model, that I could use, unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will be happening (any time soon). Well in my desperation, to find a suitable replacement for my Avengers, I stumbled across this thread from the Fwoosh. custom quinjet from the fwoosh Fwoosher princebrent modified a GI Joe Crusader Shuttle into a Marvel Legends QuinJet. He gutted the shuttle and installed a some seats from an alternate playset. However, the figures were basically sardines in a can....Well I thought, you know this looks more minimate scale than ML. So I watched craigslist and ebay, and finally found a WIP shuttle for under 10 bucks. I was going to wait to show anything until I had the ship cleaned, primered, and painted...but I wanted to see how the minimates fit into the ship and I couldnt help but show the results. Now please bear in mind, I have not re attached all of the pieces from unpacking it...so there is more to it. from the cockpit inside the hull / cargo area entry via lower hatch anyway, I am going to be working on this in my spare time, and might try to commission some decals..but until then wanted to share my new fun project Avengers Assemble! moc847 Edited February 14, 2011 by murderofcrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijeff Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 oh son of a bitch that is a beautiful sight! when we were chatting about it the other day I was curious, now I am envious, that is pretty much what I envisioned when I was telling you what I needed lol Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Man, that's cool. The hull shape in close. Canopy is off, but it'd be a complete pain to modify. Really you're looking at a tail fin and some wings and a few coas of piant. Great find, MoC!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Looking good so far. When do you think you'll get around to finishing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) thanks for the comments guys right now, i am working removing the sticker residue (since the stickers were applied in 1989) it may take a while to strip down. Then I will look for some wings that I can attache to the sides of the shuttle...starting tha hunt this weekend. N Banner, to answer your question start by looking for Crusader or Defiant shuttle on ebay. The prices may scare you, but, if you look hard enough you can find a fixer upper for some small change moc847 Edited November 12, 2009 by murderofcrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 well not even a week after getting the shuttle...I made a trade for it so here is my attempt at Quinjet 2.0. This is the Naboo Starship from Star Wars EP 1. Found it on craigslist... what do you think? let's see how long i can keep this one moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
