FGMM GeeBee Z The Rocketeer

Well... Chris (cjwalas) beat me to the post with his great looking GeeBee!

Actually I have had this model completed for about 3 weeks
but I have been so busy with the "Snow White" B24s and other projects
that I have just not gotten around to posting it till now.

Are we required to post the assembly?
If so, I have well over a dozen photos of the construction if anyone wants to see.

If not, heres the completed model.



My goal was to produce a little Rocketeer diorama...probably my favorite Disney film, and in my list of Top ten favorite films of all time!

I built the FG model completely stock
except for some adding main Wing rigging, a custom base
and the 3D Rocketeer figure.

The Rocketeer was one of my favorite movies also,and I'm smiling looking at your little diorama. Did you create the ground base? I've been looking for something similar(but larger) in the model RR section of the local hobby shop.

yes, I created a simple image file for the top
and reused the basic form from my Fokker/Sopwith FG Diorama

why? you want it?
