Physical Scorpion model

[DUBDUBS]

HI, I am a professional scale model builder and was disappointed to see no physical models (other than legos) of the vehicles from HALO. I have decided to make a 1/35 (universal military scale) model of the Scorpion tank from HALO. if you know where I can find any really nice plans, I would love to see them. I am planning on selling this model when I am completed.

By physical model, you mean a prop? Or a kinda animated scorpion?

For blueprints, I don't think any of them are available atm, you could probably make them, or ask a more experienced person to make them with AutoCad.

Military scale is 1/35? I thought it was 1/16 :$ops:

I mean a prop. the lingo on this site is different than tradition model building. A physical model (like a prop) is always a model, and a computer model is a 3-D model or a virtual model. As far as plans go, I can draw some up my self and guess on the proportions.

Ok, sorry, my bad.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

how big will it be? life sized ? probably not, cause that would be real big

1/36 of the real one.

according to halowiki, a "real" one is 34 feet long, so it should be about 1 foot long

I have some more renders and such on my comp, but I can't link them 'cause they aren't uploaded yet or anything. PM me for more details if you like.

I remember seeing scaled models of the tank for the "Belive" campaign.

yes, I saw the website of the model company that did that diorama. Pretty much much everything was scratch-built, and it was in a huge scale (I think 1/16). I got my friend to take some hi-res shots of the scorpion from different angles so I will have some reference material
