OK, you've seen them in some of my extra-cheesy videos... Here's a montage of the side by side construction of two of my favorite spacecraft: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1momE_fZhiUThe only thing special about the build is perhaps the #6-32 nut plates installed in the belly and back so that I can easily mount them for photography... |

Very nice man, looks like the Mk II is scaled a little smaller then the Original Viper.

I think they're pretty close to the same scale- the Mk II is a bit smaller overall. I've been comparing photos of actors standing next to the full size versions on each. I think they were pretty clever in the design of the newer one- they tried to keep the general idea but not have to make it quite as big, and they got away with it by working in more curves and raking some of the angles back...

Clever yes...but I was so looking forward to it going the other way around! The DeSanto viper (I know, not your fav Reaper!) was HUGE! It was nearly the size of a jet fighter. I'm hoping for one mean looking Viper that is larger in the movie!
