RGL Posted February 17 #1 Posted February 17 I’ve always loved Dune since reading the books in high school. This little delight cost $10 and it m in a group build with our club, everyone will do if differently. I think I’ll just be tradition with a few extras ….

RGL Posted February 17 Author #2 Posted February 17 So massive gaps, big seam lines but it cost $10, that’s about $6 USD for you northerners. Ready for paint! Jack12477, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Greg
ccoyle Posted February 17 #3 Posted February 17 The ornithopters are not described in much detail in the books. In fact, neither are the lighters, Guild Heighliners, and other modes of transportation. I feel that the filmmakers did a very good job of depicting these craft -- they feel true the books' narrative.

Louie da fly Posted February 19 #10 Posted February 19 Wonderful stuff, Greg! I'd always been disappointed that the previous screen versions of Dune wimped out on the ornithopters - no movable wings in any of them. And though this isn't how I'd imagined them (I was thinking they'd be more like the ones in Sky Captain) - - these ones are beyond brilliant. Really looking forward to seeing your completed model.
