LCM & sails, red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[Tophe]

Taking off from submarine/mother-fish (like nuclear missiles)? Yes, that would explain that all, thanks!

[ericr]

the other way round, in blue :

[McColm]

Wow! Great builds

Want one! Want one! Mummy can I have a whale-tailed submarine for Christmas like I saw on What If, please Mummy plee-eese!

[ericr]

thanks !

just do it ! 
I have thought of doing something with a submarine ... and a crossing with a plastic whale figurine is definitely doable

I love the pen-fighters!

They are used by the CHAF (Charlie Hebdo Airforce), aren't they?

here I am back again after days of being imprisoned outside ...

novelties here soon ...

thanxalot !

yes the swords can be turned into pens !
(just another kind of plough after all  )

[ericr]

as announced, back from being locked out
(something to do with the nickname/"position" that was given to me here?  
by the way I would prefer something more positive, JMNs should not be underestimated ... )

but still zany after all these times :

another aircraft/animal hybrid, using an east-german kit of a "Tu-20", which seems to be a Tu-95 Bear variant, with a strange flattened nose, at 1/100, and a giant squid or calamar, in yellow :








the reciprocal is drying, in red, but the humbrol enamel reacts bizarely with the squids tentacles plastic, and seems to take ages to dry, whereas the plastic of the head reacts better ...

[ericr]

well at least I believe I couldn't have fit this calamar with longer wings, could I?

[DogfighterZen]

I like the shape that the squid gives it, and i also believe the wings are big enough for PR19_Kit to like it...

[PR19_Kit]

I like the shape that the squid gives it, and i also believe the wings are big enough for PR19_Kit to like it...

Yes indeed, that's a big 'ole kit there.

I have one of those Tu-20s too, and a Tu-114 from the same stable, VEB, and they're SUBSTANTIAL!

[ericr]

yes, the old VEB kit indeed ! this is my second, for the forst I was also focussing on the nose becase ofits odd shape ...
(maybe I could try something with that B707 radar-nosed version ...)

[ericr]

and now the other way round, in red :







the sheet of paper is there because the humbrol enamel red paint somehow refuses to dry on the tentacles plastic/rubber ... a chemistry issue, I guess

[Tophe]

Oh Lord, not only you create incredible new shapes but you chemist are also inventing new mixes like a paint matter impossible to dry... The Nobel Prize seems for you in a very soon future...

Sometime ago I had tried a blend of a spanish guitar with the wings of a PZL39 :
this time it is an electric guitar with a S-21G (from PM, 1/72) :
