A new kind of aerodynamism is born!
(This is very good for a cargo loading containers)

a helicopter variant in the bottles series, using a 1/72 Huey Cobra, and a small spanish wine bottle from a flight on Iberia :

[DogfighterZen]

Now those are what i call strong skids!!

[Tophe]

Simply wonderful!
I admire mainly the perfect putty work you did on the connection bottle-canopy/fuselage, wow!

[ericr]

thanks!

I actually tried another technique, using very thin foil (actually : the kind that wraps flowers in bouquets),
because it can follow quite "natural" curves.
I also tried it on my ongoing Me262 flying boat as can be seen in another thread :
it seems that it is not magic though, you still have cases where it is uneasy

buccaneer with coke bottle for rear fuselage?

[ericr]

oh I do have a Buccanerer in my stash : the Revell/Matchbox one, with engines and wings ready to be attached elsewhere ...

I'm tempted to say a Monty Python joke about a bloke with a big nose, but I wont, sure someone else will though....

with a vietnamese Dan Nguyet miniature, combined with a HobyBoss Sabre :

With such an opponent, the USA were sure to loose the Vietnam War. Glory to flying music in the air?

[ericr]

it is the same idea as for my previous guitars : the nose is a bitlong indeed, but supports a wider range of notes

The bottles are making me thirsty ! The Sabre/ Dan Nguyet  combo looks surprisingly good, especially from the side !

thanks !

the landing gear indeed looks well-proportioned

[ericr]

some of my previous experiments left me with a number of fuselages (that's what you get when you fit wings to everything). Particularly, some twin booms ...


And then I thought of turtles, bought three of them, and here we go :
