Cobra MkIII Model

[Stoo]

Not sure if anyone has posted this before, but a few may have seen the finished article on FD's facebook page.

This little beauty now lives on the desk of some lucky little chap at FD....

And here is the build thread, very very cool

I so want one of those hehe. Would look great on my desk at work!

I like the model's shiny surface. Could be more reflective though.

I want one! but looking at the shape it reminds me so much of a microsoft natural keyboard that it makes me want to build a Cobra Mk3 keyboard so if anyone should ask about the licencing of one tell them they have at least one customer!

I think it has been posted before, but no harm in a repost... the original is probaly long lost in the masses of new forums posts!

Check out some of the guys other creations. Theres a pretty awesome M41-A pulse rifle, as well as other stuff from Aliens, Battlestar etc

EDIT: i recall he made an Elite badge as well, for those guys currently digging theirs out of wardrobes!

Should have been wireframe

I did have a quick search, but you get a lot of results

At the end of the build thread there is a link to the finished model, note the little bit of battle damage, lovely

Yeah, he's done umpteen models, all are really bloody well done - makes me want to take up modelling again, I have a few unmade in the loft

Excellent

I was in discussions with him to build me one for my desk. We sent a few emails back and forth but was looking like £250 pounds which I was prepared to pay.

Was hoping to add a sound chip with a button so you playback the blue danube waltz and laser sounds etc.

Good job the kickstarter came about so i could spend my money more wisely

Excellent model, can't wait to see the Viper. Wish I could have afforded £400 on top of my original kickstarter pledge.

great job.

If you'd like your own Cobra Mk3 model on the cheap, I made this one in 2009 for the 25th anniversary of Elite. Print it out on to some card and cut and glue together:

Do you mean like this?

[Dr Wookie]

Wow! I hope the official model looks as good- I pledged for one of those

EDIT: by which I mean the first one, not the wireframe one. If I get a wireframe one in the post, I might just have a hissy fit !

 

[W4rSkuLL]

Looks very nice that one. Homemade Cobra Mk3 with lights
