Do the 12ft long Classified USS Flagg features WORK??!

[@PosixBillie]

My son was commenting the entire time on how yours looks better and more detailed than the original.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

@@PosixBillie Please tell him thanks! That is SO awesome! Made my day!

[@sithcarebear1]

I’m just completely blown away by the level of detail. It really is identical but bigger. AMAZING!!!😍😍😍

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thanks so much! 3 months of poiring over reference pictures and modeling every little detail. Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it brought back some good memories!

[@mermaniel]

Absolutely mind blowing! You should do a video with the figures too!

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thank you! I just filmed an EPIC battle scene with Classified figures. I'll edit it and get it up later this week. I also did one with ARAH figures I'll get up next week 😁

I will definitely think on that Chris! There have been some people asking about raising the Flagg and I always refer them to you. The process should be almost identical just bigger. Thank you!

Well done! No stone left unturned and a lot of love went into bringing this project to fruition.

I think my friend @it'sChad would love this, if he saw your videos. He a big Gi Joe fan of the 3.75 gi Joe figures and 4 inch modern scale. Great video

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

I think he would too! Even though it's Classified size, the nostalgia is incredible!

[@steelbridge26yojoe]

People want to see classified figures on it. Show it compared to original figures too. Let's see how they look with the controls and doors.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

These first three were about showcasing the Classified Flagg. But good news is there was video already shot of an epic battle with Classified figures. It will be posted later this week. Next week will be another epic battle but with ARAH figures 😁

[@JameyMcFarland]

The amount of detail in this is insane. My buddy had the original back in 87 this just magical. How did you get everything to look this clean? It doesn’t look 3d printed it looks factory made. Did you print the labels also? My god man this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

@@JameyMcFarland One of the biggest ways was I modeled it for the process I used, FDM printing. I've been an engineer for a long time and have used 3D printers for ages lol. The "stickers" were all 3d printed, even the deck stickers are 3D printed in 😁. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it brought back a good part of your childhood!

[@JameyMcFarland]

@@RowdyToys-ki9qf I would say you have mastered 3d printing. Now my mind is running wild with what you make next!

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

@@JameyMcFarland Oh just wait! Now it's really getting ready to get crazy! 🤣

[@markd9803]

Looks great. Should throw some Joes in there to really make it come alive. It will look really cool with the Dragonfly siting on its deck. Hopefully they make some more GI Joe aircraft, like the Skystriker or Conquest.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thanks so much! I have a video coming out later this week with classified figures having one epic battle! Bonus points... I also have an epic battle scene with original GI Joe's coming out next week 😁

i can't even imagine how much it would cost if hasbro did this. they again i can't picture Hasbro ever doing this lol.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

It would be crazy expensive! I don't think they will ever do it. I agree with you.

[@jason_]

The HASLAB for this would be 2k at least, lol

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

That's probably about right! 😭

[@grimoireprime]

Been sharing these videos with my classmates for about a week, amazing amazing work. How did you first approach such a large project? Did you scan parts or modeled them from scratch?

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thank you for sharing and appreciating all of the hard work! 🙏 I do a ton of research before I begin. I always become an expert in the project I take on. Next I begin with the base laywr that everything will build around and in this case it was the flight deck. Everything was modeled from scratch. I only started with a few measurements. I knew that the original one was 7.5ft long, 3ft wide, and 3ft tall. All of it was done by eye in Solidworks. I don't own a scanner, one day I might but I haven't found anything that I absolutely have to have one for. Thanks again! I have many more projects coming up 😁.

[@grimoireprime]

@@RowdyToys-ki9qf awesome! Thank you so much for sharing that info. Super excited for what’s next!

[@ItsJGonzo]

How much did this cost in material Sir? Also what program was used to designed this? Thank you for your service🫡🤙🏽

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

I was so focused on trying to get this beast done that I haven't had time to go back and tally everything up. I'm going to do it soon and make a video and show a lot of the processes and thought patterns that I have. I use Solidworks and have for many years. Thank you and I really appreciate it!

[@goldengrin]

I love it! But I am afraid to ask how much it cost you to make this masterpiece...

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thank you very much! It really wasn't that bad. I don't have the final figures yet because I was so focused on finishing it. I'll get a video up in the next little while and talk more about it.

[@1bundy11]

I wonder what the retail price would be if Hasbro produced these for Classified’s. I know it wouldn’t be as detailed as yours is.

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

That's a great question! Whew, I don't know but I bet it would be expensive. Thanks for the kind words!

[@gotgijoe]

YES!!!!! How many Hours, Cost of Materials?

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Thanks! About 54 rolls and 71 hours for the 12ft. Considerably less if printed in 3.75" size.

[@jff141]

Wow I just got a Flagg and I want to make it longer and wider so how do I do this and also want to make a second level

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

It would be hard to do that with an original but there is a gentleman named Chris Dortsch ( I hope I spelled his name right). He has a book on Amazon called Raising the Flagg. A lot of people have done this and it does not require any modifications to your original toy. It's a really cool idea to do that! He is also on some of the Facebook groups.

@@carlosfuentes9928 🤣🤣🤣 Nope! Thanks!

[@theprofitdirector3946]

I'm guessing it doesn't scale well. Why else would he make 4 videos on the thing and not show it with a single classified figure in any of them. I thought for sure in the "Does it work" video we would have seen it but alas, sadly no. Come on man, show it with some figures on it. I mean why would you make a classified scale Flagg if you don't have any classified figures?

[@outerjohn]

Yeah, I think it's probably a more suitable scale for 4 to 5 inch figures. Still cool to look at

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

Well I have a great answer for that. These videos were meant to be all about the work I have done on the Flagg and showcasing it. But the great news is I've already filmed an epic battle with classified figures and I will get it edited and posted this week! It will be a really cool video 😁!

[@RowdyToys-ki9qf]

It scaled for the 6-in figures. These three videos were really meant to showcase this Flagg. I scaled it based on going from a 3.75 in figure to a 6-in figure. I do have one epic battle video coming up this week. It shows 6-in figures on it. I've already filmed it and will be editing it this week and posting it later in the week. Thank you!
