more party blowers :
I have a stock of 1/72 PM Models F(S's and F5B/T38's, several tens, I got them for very cheap, and I distill them in various adventures ...

[Captain Canada]

That looks like too much fun !

[PR19_Kit]

LOVE 'EM!  

I'm laughing fit to bust here and Mrs_PR19 is looking at me as if I'm nuts.  

I hope you can blow into the jet exhausts to make them all TOOT! 

[Tophe]

I don't like parties but I like your party-models very much! So much more innocent than military killers...

[steelpillow]

There just has to be a video game here - fly down and "Wheee!" your opponent before they get you with the party poppers! Each thread wrapped round a wing slows you down. Too many and you fall out of the sky.

Level 2: blow the candles out - straight run down the middle with with the whizzer and your slipstream takes care of the rest. Can you blow them out in one? Of course the Ack-Ack poppers are all well dug in.... and watch out for the flying paper hat from the party cracker they just pulled!

[ericr]

thanks all!

the idea of having an air supply is certainly excellent, but, as for the tank shown before in this thread, this is only a proptotype, not fully equipped : if anyone feels inspired by a "dynamic" version, please go ahead !

another set of fuselages, taken from twin-engines, and assembled as a candelabre

Bronco, Br693, Boxcar, PZL37, Twin Otter

[steelpillow]

They look as if they are emerging like butterflies from a chrysalis. Any moment their wings will unfurl, their tails pop out and they will whirr off into the great wide world beyond.

Bit of a challenge for stop-frame animation, though.

[Tophe]

It is like a 5 fuselage aircraft! 

[ericr]

thanks 

[ericr]

maybe you remember this one?

for a change, and to get back to the animal hybrids, here is a windmill ostrich :



(with a propeller coming from a 1/32 Ar196 : I have two more ... have to find long necked animals as hosts   )

here is a companion : the flamingo :





a giraffe is just following, most obviously

[Tophe]

I love the new one! With its palmed feet, do you count it in marine aircraft/birds?

[ericr]

thanks!

yes, it is definitely an amphibious
