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.

Ummm.... I'm not sure what to say. But nice creativity, and way to avoid paying retail!

 

[KarlFranz40k]

yeah....how much retail? Is it over a grand? Can't remember, waaaaaaaay to much money to splash anyway.

I've seen tin-can dreadnaughts, Id play against it.

 

[Azkaellon]

Id shoot it with a Vampire Hunter or 3. :victory:

lol that is pretty cool man,and if it gets destroyed just drop it on the table what ever parts hit a unit, that unit dies >=D

 

[Inquisitor Varrius]

At least your 'weapon destroyed' results are easy to show...

 

[Pukka]

How long did that take you to build?

 

[Alex]

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.

 

[Inquisitor Einar]

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.

+rep for awesomeness.

 

[Lupercal101]

holy crap +rep

 

[jakkie]

haha, you have waay too much time on your hands...

excellent job tho! +rep

 

[Lord Sinkoran]

:laugh: made me laugh i wouldn't mind you using it until you get the real thing

 

[Epatus]

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)

 

[Cocakoala]

Wow just wow. Any idea how many bricks that is in total? Dont go counting them just for me tho. +rep anyway.
