This just sort of invented itself as I was scavenging parts for other stuff

It will have engines and weapons mounted on each wing

You Sir, are a genius! I marvel at your imagination!

Taiidantomcat · September 01, 2008, 12:05:43 PM

Little bit of everything in that!

Thanks ya'll

I'm building engines now. Tomorrow I have to hit the PT and see the doc but I plan on shooting another color on the Diamondback :wacko:Hopefully by Wednesday I'll mount the wing engines.

I need more information than just "oh, a few bits here and there" to explain this sort of magnificent model.

Now.

Sorry bout that.

The main fuselage is an Alpha jet . The Null Space (warp drive) sticking out the back is a Arc-170 engine with a B-wing engine on top and Y-wing and speeder bike detailing. The wings are from 2 different Harriers . The engines will be from Me -262's but will be mounted differently on the top and bottom wings. Give me a minute and I'll mock them up

Here is the basic mock up of how the engines will mount

The engines will be reversed verticallly top to bottom as the lower engines will house fixed landing skids

A third skid will be mounted in the forward central fuselage

Thanks B

I got into this sci-fi mood all the sudden

I hope everyone will put up with me for a while

Brian da Basher · September 01, 2008, 02:00:50 PM

Certainly we'll put up with you, Toolslinger! It's always great to see what you've been up to!

Brian da Basher

P.S. Good luck with the PT tomorrow, compadre!

Thanks Bro

If you look at my post in everyday chat you'll see my knee is much better.

puddingwrestler · September 01, 2008, 03:33:53 PM

And why is this not in the SSM kitbash challenge my dear slinger?

sotoolslinger · September 01, 2008, 05:00:34 PM

Dang

Cause I don't know what that is

Talk about out of the loop

Sisko · September 01, 2008, 07:36:25 PM

Wow I like it.

This would make one hell of a reaver ship!!!!! blades red paint

My only suggestion is to lose the wing engines. It looks cleaner and meaner without them. IMHO

Wait for the backstory and all the guns
