If you ever want to do a commission of the Twilight, message me.  I've been wanting one for years.  Badly.

I figured that one might catch your attention. Pretty awesome ain't it!

Dude, I suck with commissions.  The second I get paid for something, it becomes work and I don't want to do it.  I'm flattered though   This one was for my kid, so it isn't going anywhere.  If I feel the burn to make one, I'll let you know and we can work something out. 

Thanks for the front page love, Tamer.

UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR!

Beautiful! Your son should be most pleased with this absolutely excellent rendering of the Twilight. This was a most impressive build, most impressive.

I completely understand.  I actually don't do commissions for the same exact reason.  I know what it means to want to keep things fun.

Thanks for the front page love, Tamer.

You are quite welcome. It was an awesome piece of work. It got a lot of love on Facebook too.

Post more WIPs and maybe some specs.
Everybody on this site has the talent to pull off a passable copy of your Twilight with enough guidance.

The Ghost!

Alright Hasbro, fine…if my kid and I want the Ghost, then by gum I’ll just have to make it myself!


Made from styrene sheet for the main construction, and an oversized plastic Easter egg for the forward canopies, this took a good long while to bring together.  I was hoping to have it done for Easter (my son got the Phantom from the Easter Bunny), but I didn’t quite hit that timetable. 



The basic body is 22” by 22”, roughly 2” wider/longer than the vintage Falcon.  My son can pick it up at least. 





The dorsal and forward turrets are articulated, which took a bit of figuring.





The project began by using Hasbro’s Phantom and working my way out within the basic dimensions I had in mind.






Again, like the Twilight, I imagined how this would work as a vintage toy, with clear inspiration from the old Falcon with the removable cockpit and hold sections.




It ain’t too sophisticated, but I think it’s recognizable as the Ghost, and it should provides some decent play time. 

Thanks for looking!

That is really awesome. Great work! I like the Ghost too, the cockpit reminds me of a B-24 Liberator. I like how you incorporated the Hasbro Phantom too. Look forward to seeing more projects.

[Starchaser]

Really amazing. It was a great idea to build around the Phantom. The crew seems to fit really well. You certainly filled a gap that Hasbro hasn't. Great job!

[Tamer]

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! So awesome and fantastic. I bet your son is still smiling, I know I would be. Wow.

Shared this and screamed it on our social channels. You rock Glorbes!

[darthdaddy]

Another really well made vehicle!  I wish I had your skills so I could build a Twilight and Ghost too.  Bravo!
