I've been playing with this a little for the past week. A friend sent me a resin Neuspotter head from a 1/35 Oscar, and I though the Neuspotter or Krachenvogel would be pretty cool in 1/35 scale. I know a 1/35 Neuspotter was available at this past Winter WF 2007, but it was only available on Yahoo! Japan auctions.
This model actually has a long way to go. It is just the begining of the project, and I need to scratchbuild a lot more of it.
To get semi-accurate measurements of the 1/35 scale version I measured an unbuilt Wave 1/20 Neuspotter, put those measurements into MS Excel spreadsheet, and used formulas to easily appromize the correct lengths and dimensions for other scale. I even put a column in to see how big a 1:1 scale would be... Huge!! XD
The chest is styrene and part of a 1/24 engine (chrome) with other misc bits right now. I have to build that up quite a bit yet. The arms are very thin metal wire (Christmas ornament hangers), round plastic sprue, styrene, and aluminum tubing.
The memory unit (ball at the bottom) is a 97cent fishing bobber from Walmart (came in pack of 6).
Very simple, the head of course weighs the most, so I re-enforced the body with a long piece of brass rod (and plastic sprue) down the center of it to the head.
I may decide to convert this into a Krachenvogel, or make it possible to be both (with interchangeable limbs, antenna, rocket tubes, etc).
Fun little project, and if you can find a 1/35 head, I recommend trying to scratchbuild one yourself! ;o)
