Love the general look oh Bashmaster, but summat about the undercarraige? Maybe a bit too long? Are you gonna go with spats?



Uh oh said the S. word here comes Brian.

She sure is showing alot of leg !

I like it....looks very 'storch-ish' from the front.

Those are there to give me an idea of how it looks up on legs. Two things will change . One, part of the belly fuselage is missing right now and when it's added, it will add a bit of "meat" and balance out some of the empty space there. Two, I hope to make some spats. If I get too frustrated, Spatman should be expecting a box in the mail to add some of his majic to this ugly duckling.

I know it's still pretty fuggly

I disagree: you model is pretty fpretty (according to me)...  

[John Howling Mouse]

Yes, this will be another one of those eye-catching subjects that demands a double-take.

Eddie, I know you post on FSM Forum but I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall and hear comments in person if you were to take your many creative/unique models to a model show.

Absolutely gorgeous Eddie! The long, bent undercarriage reminds me of one of those Luftwaffe training biplanes like the Jungmeister. I think you'll have no trouble Mr. Miller, but if necessary, I'd be honored to help you with the spats.

I love spats!

This bird looks fantastic, like a richman's Pitts Special. I'm in love! Can't wait to see how she ends up. Fantastic work Mr M!!!

[The Cat a.k.a Meowbag]

That's gonna be gorgeous when it's done!

In fact, it's making me consider a biplane 190D   Got two sitting around that I haven't started yet (which is a rarity for me - the only other duplicate in my stash is the TSR-2!)

Not sure about the undercarriage though, it looks a bit ... flimsy, maybe? I'm sure you'l sort that out though

Eddie, whatever became of this very original idea?

It's been sitting in a draw, kept alive by suspended cryogenics. I think I'll get it out today and see what happens.

Uhhmm, errr, eddie? Landing gear looks a bit too long in my opinion, but thats just me...

Other than that, me love it!

Edit: What about making wing surfaces flat/faired over instead of visible ribs?    

[Brian da Basher]

How are you fixed for spats Mr Miller? I'd be more than willing to offer some assistance in this are.

Did I mention that I love spats?

P.S. this beauty is in 1/48 isn't it?

I might call on you BdaB.  B777LR ,you're right, but I was using those just to get off the ground and see what I need for prop clearence.

While I digging the parts out for this beast, I found some other stuff and whipped something together within an hour. I may not finish it in a timely manner, but at least I have the physical idea to work from. It's the plane that I got the bi wings from (Spad, not for sure). I added a B-24 engine( it kind gives me the Skyraider feel in the front), the tips of my derelict B-24 wings, and a big honkin' prop, courtesy of JeffryF. B)  It might have some potential.

It remains a mystery to me how some people can cobble together virtually anything they find into something so believable and interesting.

Both knitting needles to you, sir, IF you can finish it!

[cthulhu77]

Gotta love that big honkin nose!!!!
