EARTH vs FLYING SAUCERS PART-2

John Thomas Author
I am back with part 2 of "Earth vs Flying Saucers". This time the Saucer will be crashing into the Washington Monument as seen in the movie. I will build an 1:283 scale Washington Monument . Once done I will cut the gaping hole in the Monument and the Saucer and the debris and rubble. The monument will be 3 inches (75mm) at the base and 24 inches (610mm) tall.

We come in peace................Yeah, RIGHT. :-/ !!!

John Thomas Author
Kerry, you are RIGHT about that. The Saucers also crashed into the US Capitol but I am not going the build that one.

Would the 1/48 Testors "Area S4 UFO Revealed" kit be too big. ?

Kerry, I have not seen the Testor's UFO but at 1:48 scale I would think it would be.

Thanks mate, and yes, I was just wondering as this will be a most interesting project, especially to see how you are going to suspend those large pieces of the monument in the air. 🙂

John Thomas Author
Kerry. I am wondering how I am going to do it too. I have the four faces of the Monument cut out now, so I am just getting in to the details. I am trying to get this all done by mid July for the US IPMS National convention. More photos soon.

John, I posted a photo some time back of a scene from the "Mad Max" movie where a car had ploughed through a caravan that was being towed, and all the pieces of the caravan were suspended in mid air and, it won gold .

In fact, I would like to get a copy of it to you as you may get some ideas/clues as to how to do it.

Kerry COX
John, I have found the photo, and what I will do, is post it as an album here on SM, and when you have had a look, I will remove it as it's only one photo, but a must see mate, you will love it. 🙂

John Thomas Author
Kerry, that sounds great. I will need all kinds of ideas for this one.

John Thomas Author
Kerry, cant wait for the new reboot "Mad Max" movie, just love all those cars.

John Thomas Author
Kerry, I just saw your "Mad Max" Project, OMG dude that is outstanding work. It looks so real. Thanks for the photo. I hope to make Max proud.

I have done more work on the Monument and Saucer. I am now painting the Monument and have started work on the base. The Saucer is painted and done ready to install in the Monument when I finish the painting.
