Whoa, that's nice.  Has that real air- and ground-crew "pride of ownership" look about it.

Will you be taking some big, outdoor pics with suitable background soon?

Hint, hint   ;)

Soon, yes, very soon. (being a relative word ;)  :lol: ) I threw together a simple rack for the torpedoes.  :)

Dangit! I need to pay attention to what thread I'm in, for a minute I thought we were putting torpedos in the Bone  :dum:  I must be gettin' tired.


Not that there's anything wrong with puttin' torpedos in the B-1 if you want to Eddie  :lol:

Oh, by the way, kickass job on that!

Nice detail on those props, Mr Miller! Those colors are perfect for setting off the rest of this killer build!

I appreciate the kind words guys! Here's the painted weapons assembly before installation into the Pusher.

Whiffing Magic!!!

Eddie, that torpedo launcher/trapeze is a fabulous construct. I specially like the way in which you have made a very simple structure look the part of a business-looking, sturdy and complex piece of equipment. I look and look and look at it and keep marveled at your skills.

OK, I know I can't stop scratchbuilding. Someday, I will build something OOB....

Nice.....it's funny how much satisfaction can be derived from a simple scratch-built piece, eh ? I was wondering about the torpedoes, tho...there's no props on them ?

Son of a b....    That torpedo bay is flawless, Eddie!    This has to be one of your finest builds to date.

Good eye! I'll see if I can whip some up that will be easy to install, since I installed the assembly into the bay last night. :)
