[i]I have a metric -ton of 1/8 in PVC sheering at my disposal (well, maybe not that much, but you get the point). I was using it to build scenery, but I have bought too much of that to bother with scratch-built. Looking over my old Epic minis, I saw my old thunderhawks and figured I could build one just like those. I tried looking for the thread I saw last year about someone making one, but to no avail.

Anyone out there see that post? Or better yet, is the builder still around? I'd like to estimate some measurements to get my dimensions roughly correct.

Thanks!

Proper old school, or new-old school? As opposed to Forgeworld New-school?

Proper old-school. The flying box with a battlecannon on top. Less engineering, plus I like old school. Still praying to the Emperor to find an old Land Raider...

I remember that thread. He used engines from a star wars pod racer toy. I bought a similar pod racer thinking of doing something like that but I never did, If you want to give it a go I'll send you the racer for cost of shipping
