This model was the product of two days of searching through old lego boxes due to my determination to use a manta in an apocalypse game without paying for a FW one. I posted this in the strangest proxied model thread but after looking at it again I saw that I'd posted an old + not to scale one I made before this one. This ones a bit more colour coordinated than the original and obviously more to scale. Hope you enjoy
The only thing I'm not really happy with is the wings as I can't find any curvy bits to resemble the curve of the real manta.
Unfortunately I dropped this while moving it, so it's now lying in big chunks ready to be refitted when I'm bored enough.
The first one I did took me about 3 days( quite a few hours every day) to make as I kept changing the bits to use and had to find them in the first place. When I went back to remodel it, I knew what to use so it only took a day to rustle through four boxes of lego and lay them out and then about 6 hours the next day to fit together.
Very nicely done.. maybe you can use the large long wings on the sides to make it curve a bit. the 30 degree ones, compared to 45 degre ones at the middle... that should give it a bit of a curvy shape.
Good effort. I wonder how they would react if you took that to Nottingham... :aggressive: You can purchase my Manta when it is finished...:wink: (whenever that will be)
