The Eggbatross IS good!
... and it looks like an Albatross, just shortened a little bit

The Eggbatross is hilarious ! And very nicely done at that....

Now if you did one that was cracked in the middle and had a smaller scale one coming out (say 144th) it would be astounding

Got that very idea on my bench right now, just about finished. Different aircraft though. Pictures soon.

And this is a neat work in progress, a Lysander on floats.

Oh that anti Zombie vehicle is rather good

That car is too funny Rat...thanks. Although the way it's spelled it's actually pronounced Zombie Ettle



How come I can only see one pic of the Lizzie ? Is the HS on lockdown unless you log in ?

I think that's all he's got so far. I've still got the bits you gave me for the Lysander/Duck, wracked my brain for ages trying to figure out how to arrange wing floats with really long supports. Finally it hit me: I've got the makings for almost two full Lysanders, so I'll turn it into a biplane and attach the floats to the lower wing! (reaches around to pat himself on the back, gets cramp in latissimus dorsi)

Such an obvious build when you think about it - amazing we've not seen one on this forum!

That's a nice idea. Fellow user Franclab from Canada scratched another weird (but obviously real!) Lysander derivate: an agricultural flyer from 1949...


Westland Lysander Version agricole / Agricultural version 1949 by Franclab, on Flickr

Info about it:

"This Lysander modification is an interesting piece of history. After the war, you could buy ex-RCAF Lysanders for 50$ to 250$ each, same money in fact that you would spend to build a hen house! E.S. "Ted" Holmes bought four of them (Lysanders, not hen houses!), and had them modified for crop spraying in Canada. The modifications included, apart the obvious low-hung spray bar, air-driven pumps in the wheel spats and a new fuel tank behind the pilot seat - the regular tanks being actually used for the chemicals. The back seat position was deleted and its windows blanked off. Because the planes were usually flown at a very low speed and altitude, the inside wing slots were fixed in the open position, the outer ones probably fixed closed. The planes were working as independant units, each with an accompaning mechanic and crew in a truck.
These Lysander were quite successful in their new role, being able to carry more volume of chemical than the light planes used in that time for the same purpose.The Canadian regulations required the pilots to wear parachutes, but Holmes pleaded that most flights were done a few feets over the ground, where this equipment would be quite useless... (he succeed to have a derogation!).
As far as I know, this was the only civil use of this famous warbird and I love the special look of it."

Sick, eh?
