Hey all, here's my latest MOC: 5935 Island Hopper Redux
5935 Island Hopper was one of my favorite sets TLG ever put out. I have many happy memories from my youth of long hours spent lost in the world of Johnny Thunder, and this set was always my favorite to play with, and somehow always made it into every adventure, no matter what environment it was taking place in.
Sadly I no longer have the original set still complete, but recently I came across the instructions, and decided it was time for this to be reborn with new parts and techniques.
All the play features from the original set are there, such as folding wings, and removable roof, but I also added a few of my own, namely retractable landing gear, opening rear hatch, and working vertical and horizontal stabilizers.
Worth noting is that many of the pieces from the original set were used in the new model.
Long Live Johnny Thunder!
Cheers,
Joshua
