Interesting design. Sort of a non-VTOL counterpart to the P.1216.

Tip for next time: some of your photos are a bit fuzzy. Try placing the camera on a tripod or on a solid object, like a box, so it's properly supported and won't shake. If that doesn't help, move the camera away from the model, maybe you're too close to the model so the camera won't focus.

Meanwhile, I'm scrabbling around the apartment searching for those needles the ex left.

Outstanding!!!

Outstanding as allways. I particularly admire your castings and scratchbuild

Thanks guys, I am very happy with this build, because it set a new beginning in my modeling adventures for this year. I really like to combine plastic, and other junk to come up with a subject!!!

Oh! I forgot. This is the "original" subject (NASA's SNAKE):

That is one sweet, sweet build!  Really, awesome work.  I haven't gotten up the nerve to try casting my own weapons, let alone a fuselage.  Thanks for giving us a look.

Hi, Lemonjello, Thank You!!!

My casting method is very rudimentary, since I don't have access to modern materials in my country. So I stuck to plaster moulds and automotive appliccations resin. I have yet to obtain a flawless cast. It's fun, it's messy, but the results are mediocre for now. I will learn and produce the pieces with good quality in time, since nobody here seems to be interested in teaching me. So the adventure continues. A very interesting info tidbit is the low, low price of resin here.

Thank You!!!
Rafa
