Love the third photo, really looks like a still from a video. I think it's about to stick its snout into the camera lens and get goo all over it. Aircraft grade, of course!
Cheers.

Hey Ericr, here's a thought : why not do something with dinosaurs? There are loads of figures about, both 'proper' models (Tamiya, Lindberg, Revell, Aurora just off the top of my head) and toy figures.

(Apologies if you've already done this: havn't got time to review the whole thread).

It wouldn't do you any good if had the time H, all ericr's early stuff has vanished into the 'Pit of Photobucket' sad to say.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's so cute Eric.
Do you have any wings for it?  Dragonfly or dragon/bat would look good.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

thanks again !

I did do a few things with dinosaur figurines, including a push-pull variant (with no eyes ...) :
the PB black hole is a pity indeed, I uploaded a few pictures of them on my new propagation medium :








zenrat : I didn't plan wings on this, because it looked so cute indeed as a crawler, but who knows, may some time ?
I have had a figurine of a dragonfly, which once met a kit of a PZL7A :

+1 for the PZL dragonfly. When's my ride?  :thumbsup:
Cheers.

Ok... I'll admit some of these creep me out a bit... but in a primary colours binding an unholy alliance of animal and machine sort of way. ;)

But man... that Dragonfly has it going on.  Makes me wish for a ringside seat at the battle between ericr and sykotik's creations!
Thanks!

wasn't the FW189 nicknamed the flying glasshouse?





(the glasshouse is from Faller in 1/87, so it is a scalorama)

Hehehe, VERY hi-viz, both its colour and it's capability.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Good!
I think this is the Fw-189 version which is powered by solar energy!
