Well Jeff, giant termite? I haven't resorted to carving with my teeth yet.
In this photo- tail feathers added...as far as color, I still picture military airlift gray, though it could be boring.

OK, maybe your not a termite but your definately a wizard with wood! I just can't get over how cool this looks!

Thanks Jeff for the comments. The back end of this thing looks more and more like a whale to me, flopping it's great tail for propulsion (not so obvious in these photos). A base coat top color, needs a little cleaning up here and there...

Turning some little LG...

Good Gawd  That is a very cool plane

I really like the shape of this bird and the fact you carved it out of wood makes it even more remarkable!

Thanks Brian. Now the wings and tailplanes are making me think F-4 Phantom, both in angle and shape.

Rafa, I know it's "low-tech", but I hope to give wood a good name, make it more "socially acceptable" when in the same room with plastic-type materials. Plus, I don't know how to use that other stuff.

"Low-Tech" it may be, as might be hammering away at a block of marble with mallet and masonry nail. The results are exquisite.

Who, besides the artist, could have even guessed what a beautiful airplane lay hidden inside that chunk o´wood?.

As for "socially acceptable" alongside plastic stuff, remember that a good many of those plastic stuff masters started as wooden forms.

Wow, I aspire to reach your skill in my future woodworking projects

This thing is calling for a Killer Whale paint scheme.

[Zeke]

What an awesome little shape you've created, that is just beautiful.

[solidmodeler]

A great thought, but I'm afraid if it might end up looking like an actual killer whale with wings. Hmmm, that gives me some ideas for other projects though.

The landing gear taking shape...

The nose gear looks a bit rough after the first coat of paint. A little sanding and repainting will smooth it out.

Most impressive.  This is coming along nicely.

Still in the process of painting...I don't have any decals and will have to find something, maybe from a small scale kit.
