Great! Would you take a few parts in usual kits to match them with the saucers? I'd love to see that, indeed. Thumbs Up

Joe, plates do work well Smiley  here's the saucer I made from plates a while back.


 Not fancy at all, it was a quick, fun build. I have been thinking about giving it another go, only doing a bit nicer job.

I really enjoy all of the saucer ideas!

 Grin nice, BlackOps, while... I would like a canopy somewhere (black? no need of cockpit), just to be more "aircraft" (or animal with eye) rather than abstract object.

This thread reminds me of Flying Saucers -- For Real! I always speculated that, if these saucers really were real, the jet engines were probably not used so much for propulsion as they were for generating electrical & hydraulic power. One can only imagine how heavy such a craft must be to require so d--- many wheels!

I did a C-57d lookalike for Ships Starfleet Never Built, the Borchardt. I subsequently recycled it (with modifications) as Biff and Barf's (superhero characters described here) spaceship (shown below).

Tophe and TSRjoe: not sure if you saw this when the GB was on, but it has pound-shop bits (cheap clocks), proper kit bits and scratchbuilding in it. Long way from perfect but relevent......

some possible reference material...its all bs i know but all good clean fun, hehehe

btw. by posting these in no way am i implying that the Germans did actually build such designs or that i endorse any of the more 'fringe' elements which accompany the sites which usually reference them, just a lil disclaimer as i know theres some who take issue with 'nazi ufo's  Blink

Wow al of this lot is certainly wetting my appetite for building a UFO. I think I will start looking for bits when I have finished the vehicle I just started. Pond stretchers here we come Cheers!
