Jonny Quest hovercraft (1/35)
Frank3k:
Jonny Quest was a great SF cartoon that ran in the mid 1960s. The stories, artwork and various vehicles were great.
A while ago, Retired In Kalifornia II (iirc) mentioned or posted this drawing of the Jonny Quest hovercraft in one of my build threads:
I found this drawing online and used it as the main reference:
It looked like a quick and relatively easy job to convert it to 3D. Looking at some screen grabs, I came up with a reasonable size in 1/35, designed it and printed a copy. I didn't obsess over the details. It's close enough to represent a "real world" version of the cartoon craft:
Here's Steve standing next to the cleaned/sanded/pressed together parts:
Painted. Not really obvious, but the inside of the upper handrail section is actually a very dark gray:
In late afternoon (the Sun was setting) daylight:
I showed it to my wife when she got home and she said "Hey, isn't that from Jonny Quest?" She'd watched the reruns as a kid and loved the show. If we weren't already married, I'd marry her!
Jeffry Fontaine:
That turned out really nice! I never had the opportunity to watch Johnny Quest thanks to living out in the Aleutian islands or later in life living in Germany and not here in the states when it aired on television.

Mig Eater:
Looks great, the 3D print came out really nice :smiley:
I've unfortunately never seen the 1960's Jonny Quest show, I really enjoyed watching the 80's and 90's version when I was a kid tho. I should go back and watch the original at some point to see where it all started.
