I have catched a 1:32 Fieseler V1 kit from revell, just for the main fuselage and try to create a original ancient egypt Starship in 1:72 scale from that.

Most of the parts are ready collected, first part of the mission is the window for crew.   The glas is from a slaughtered and very poor build fighter, think it was a F111 .

The original engine will be cut of, and the flying bomb is turned for 180° .

Ok the title got me in. Where will this head ?

From the tail .... 

The engine is made from four parts, i started with this little job today.  I was sick at home for some days and not much energy for difficult operations, some graphic work on the Laptop but sadly no modell builds .
These parts will become a good combination i think.

Interesting.....

Interesting indeed!
I'm trying to picture in my head an engine out of those parts but no luck. But that's what makes this fun, seeing what you come up with!

In fact there is nothing really special on it, here is the complete exhaust of the blasterdrive ...

Four different rings = four colours to paint

Where did that track sprocket come from? Lots of whiffyness in parts like that.

Maybe a Tiger Tank, or something like that. German stuff, that's shure .

Today a little session and time to open the cockpit, preparing the place fore the wings and shaped the rear wall of the cockpit ( where the seats will be fixed at ) .

Same here. I'm intrigued.

Awesome!

Yesterday evening at the club meeting i did the work to fit the exhaust in the tail end, works very good

I would be possible to ad one or two big intakes at the front but i think that could destroy the clear lines of the ship... so i decided that it's a rocket drive .

What about some semi-circular ones scabbed on behind the cockpit?
Jet-or-similar would make for more options than rocket-driven.
Just my .02 Euros-worth.

In any case; carry on, good sir!

Yes, carry on! It's looking very interesting.
