The Flagg is very small for an aircraft carrier, but it’s a play set, so I’m not mad at that. You guys do some absurdly impressive stuff for your joes that I frankly don’t have the resources for. The chief thing I’m noticing here that I want to point out is 1. I feel like a seagoing vessel would merit some weathering, at least on the parts that wouldn’t influence the overall collectibility of it. 2. Have you considered some kind of paneling that could wild out if you needed access? What I mean by wild out is move out of the way. Seems like you could do some kind of maybe latching or magnetic panels to give the Flagg a proper hull for exterior shots. Also I don’t know if the Flagg came with them but I’ve found some 3D printed arrestor hooks for Skystrikers if you want added realism… :) Well done, fellows.

@gijoburg 10 ай бұрын

Thank you! For exterior shots I like to switch out hulls to one made from foam board. It floats extremely well.

@barryevans9486 10 ай бұрын

@@gijoburg I did some poking around after my comment and found out they made a tail hook for the skystriker, but the ones I saw used the screw sockets and fit more naturally. Also, come to think of it I think I’ve seen where you put your Flagg on water.

I just wanted to know how big a real scale 1:18 flagg would be so I did the math for everyone. Length: 1093/18=60.05 FEET Width (flight deck): 252/18=14 FEET Width (at the water): 130/18=7 FEET Is anyone up for a Guiness book of world records build?

@gijoburg 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for crunching the numbers! I’d say give it a Google - I’ve seen a few R/C enthusiasts with carriers that they launch their planes from approaching the 1/18 scale; then there was some guy who built one in his basement and I think it was intended for GI JOE. Must have a basement the size of a convention centre to pull that off I reckon! But at least it’s out of the weather 😂

@douglaswhiddon869 Жыл бұрын

I had GI Joe stuff when I was a kid, but it was never my #1 (Star Wars, He-man, and Lego were my top 3) And I only once even got a glimpse of the Flagg. (A kid in my scout troop had one and we went to his house for something and I saw his, but we were busy and he wasn't a close friend I could visit again.) Anyway, the Flagg was super cool, but not really on my Christmas lists. I saw the first video about building a lower deck, which was cool, but I haven't seen anyone really make it really cool. The outer walls just go down straight and other than doors I don't really see much detail. I'm big into 3d printing and I think it would be cool to make one that has the walls sloping and lots of little details. I'd love to do something like that, but I'm not looking to spend 3-10k on this toy just to make the lower level.

@gijoburg Жыл бұрын

It was always an imperative that I wouldn’t spend more than US$100 on the upgrades. If I was to do it, I would do it inexpensively. I wasn’t too hung up on the form; just the function. Wanted to get vehicles under my Flagg and to be able to move the Flagg about. Check! Check! Check! 😄

Very cool my man, if a ever get a flagg I'll definitely modify it similar to this but for right now I have my own plans to make a carrier fleet so to speak basically what I'll do is take a table add some drawers on the underside for a makeshift interior then add a carrier deck and Tower or maybe add Shelf instead of drawers as to have a functional elevator but I'll have one based on the kitty hawk-class carrier then for more based on the Nimitz-class carrier two from the Pacific fleet and two from the Atlantic fleet then one based on the ulyanovsk-class carrier witch was a project for a Russian nuclear-powered supercarrier during the cold war but was never finished before the collapse of the Soviet Union then one more based on the Essex-class specifically the USS Lake Champlain as to not have to worry about the angled deck like most other modified Essex-class carriers then one more that I don't know what I'm going to make it but probably either another Essex-class or ulyanovsk-class or maybe an old British aircraft carrier or even a modern helicopter carrier like the Australian Canberra-class or something, but when I'm done I'll have like eight of them maybe more.
