Just unboxed him and this is it compared to a 1:500 USS Chicago. Godzilla is 5/16 of an inch short of being right on the money 80 meters tall so close enough.

Ok... back on track. So I do have two dio's in mind, one using the 1:500 Herpa Wings (that really doesn't sound good) airport, the t-gauge micro train and the USS Chicago (pic above) with a Nimitz thrown in for good measure. Layout should be about 4'x8' and have a harbor (need to put the boats somewhere), a small burb in the middle with an airport near the edge with the train connecting each with a tad bit of country side perhaps.

The other dio is going to be a water dio with 1:700 scale carrier fleet with Godzilla doing his worst. Featured will be the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower with a full flight deck and as much of a strike group as I can get. Also 4'x8'

EDIT*

I've answered my own question. Found a plethora of models to look at. Still looking for tanks!

Anyone on here use Shapeways for custom "molding"? If so how hard (even better how much) would it cost to make 1:500 and 1:700 cars, trucks and vans? I'm just wondering if there are models out there all ready that can be shrunk to that size for production instead of having to create a wireframe/model to submit. Anyone?

Tanks! Buildings... in above mentioned scale would be great!!

as for shapeways, the only thing i can confirm is that it is expensive for what you get...theres some things i want to buy, but its so costly...i just can't justify it...

For the water dio.. I don't plan on any destruction, due in part that I can't bring it to myself to "attack" U.S. forces, mostly just an excuse to get a carrier group together ;). As for the ground dio, I plan on sacrificing some trains, buildings and I think the airport depending on what I can do with some of the buildings. So all out mayhem for the ground crew!

I've been browsing the Shapeways site a bit and I agree, some is expensive but if they can make some tanks (for example) that have multiple on a sheet (think cut out) I think that would help. 1:700 is pretty damn small. :)

^ pictures just don't do it justice. If you ever get a chance to look at one in person you might reconsider! If I could I'd gladly buy another... but alas, the damn bills.

^ oh alright... I'll have to find one I won't feel too guilty tearing up.

On another note, I did find a fella on Shapeways that is going to be making the F-22 Raptor in 1:500! The detail on those is amazing! Now if only I could get some M1A1 Abrams' made...

:D

I feel your pain. GI Guppy the third (not sure if he's on here) over at the tank posted his works through that company so really its his fault. Any hate mail can be sent there... if you feel like praising someone however send that to me (I need a pick me up anyhow).

Oh hell yeah! The arm set me back a ways but I'm still going through with it. Glad I have a good size basement, I'm gonna need it! I'm working on a Destro castle dio and the godzilla one might just take up just as much room. (4'x8')

Oh... and if you want eddie, I can share my godzilla with you. You can play with it all you like as long as you bring the wife. ;)

Oh no, you can play with the godzilla toy all you like... I just want to show your wife around the black hills. A personal tour so to speak. :)

(Distract with toy, take girl for myself... sounds like a good plan!)

You bringing the wife? ( if not I'll send pictures...).

I'm pretty excited about getting it started, once all this medical stuff blows over I can start.

Seriously though, any of you guys go on vacation to the black hills better look me up. Did I mention I have a jeep? Woohoo! Oh yeah, there is Mt. Rushmore and a ton of other things here.. but really I'm the best damn tour guide here. :)

No video was allowed to be taken during the sdcc panel but several fan remakes have surfaced. The audio is the same but the video just recreates what was seen but not allowed to be recorded. It went something like this
