Heyo All

Meant to post this with others. A photo to give an idea of size of the tractor and my working drawings. You have to have a set of blueprints.... right?





Thanks for all your kind words

Perhaps a small back history may help here.

It`s late late WW2 and the allies are bombing the bovine batter out of land airstrips and like the wheeled 262 using roads/autobahns a floating version was built to use small fishing ports etc which were lying idle as the boats had all been sunk earlier. Enjoy.

I like it lots, Gary! The T-tail is a great idea! That's a cool little dockyard scene you've got going on there too.

Well thanks all,  your kind words are what keep me going. And Eddie    mind......works........... does my mind work?. Like you with the voices, I just listen to the music, usually Hendrix and Zepp and  "Head Out of Gestalt hands on auto pilot".
Just for fun I`m soon gonna post a pic of an idea I`m playing with that I would like people to print out and alter as they see fit and repost. A sort of real commitee designed aircraft or a variation on `X` number of monkey`s typing Shakespear. Then when we agree I`ll try and build it.
Thanks again
Gary
