I'm in! Thank goodnes for this GB because I had no idea what I was going to do with all these spare parts. ;D Here's the beginning. Still trying to match the gibblets with the gizzards.

Holy crap, Eddie!!  Don't do that to me this late at night!

That thing looks awesome as it is.  Looks sorta like something outta Macross (aka, Robotech season 1).

Looks like a great start.  Any thoughts on color and markings?

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Hmmm a "Gizzards" group build, now that's an interesting idea.

Eddie, it's great to have you play along and I'm really excited to see what you come up with!

Maybe keep it upside down and add twin bubble canopies?

Like I've said before, Eddie is the kind of creative genius who can wake up in the middle of the night, trip over some leftover bits of model parts on the floor (in the dark, no less), and wind up with a masterpiece.

It's not fair!  It's not fair!

Too true! But it is inspiring, awesome, thrilling, cool, wondrous, sexy, brilliant,...

Thanks! Color and marking are usually on the last part of the list while I build. To be honest, I just make stuff as I go...shhhh.. okay,okay! The "voices" have kindly reminded me that I do as they say to do. :o ;D

Actually, they're gremlins who hand me the pieces I need during build. I have nothing to do with it. ;D

Thanks Baz! I appreciate the kind words. :bow:

Let's hope I can live up to those very discriptive words. Here's what I've got for today. :mellow:

So, Eddie... gonna have spats??? It's really shaping up to be another winner. I sometimes think you could dump a bottle of CA into a box of assorted parts, shake well, and roll the results out on the table. But that belies all of the endless hours you pour into your creations.

It would really be neat if some of the Wiffers show up at the IPMS Nats this summer, parts boxes in hand, and put on a mini group build right there. They could all wear funny hats and T-shirts that say something like:
Rivets... We don' count no stinkin' rivets. We have FUN!!!

Suggestion time Eddie!  Looking at the cranked shape you have for the vertical stabs, if you stuck them on horizontally you'd have a semi-tailess layout like the McDD JAST entry.







Another idea is that your layout seems to lend itself to canards, maybe with a delta?   With the layout you've got there'd be a similarity to the Su-35?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

You can already consider this "Mission Accomplished" wrt the descriptive words.  You are a genius, Eddie.  Love the bent tailfin bases...I never would have thought of that.  Makes it an original.
