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

another Twin Otter (it is a nice kit, cheap, and each time you get a nice pair of floats to whiff with)
and another banana (it was a set of five I bought, and I am actually tempted by a second one)

[TheChronicOne]

Bananoroma strikes again!      

I dig it. 

Twin bananas next go round, perhaps?

[63cpe]

Let's go banana's! Does the H-21 qualify?

[Tophe]

Wonderful
and this is not delirium but a good improvement for loading/unloading performances!...

[NARSES2]

Oh how I hope that these stay undisturbed in the ground for a couple of millennia. The ideas they will give future archaeologists 

[ericr]

thanks all !

I am definitely working for long-term posterity 

and twin bananas requires a bit of thought ...

[Tophe]

and twin bananas requires a bit of thought ...

I would have used the icon "Love" if I were less afraid that my psychiatrist frown his eyes saying this raised up banana is a phallic symbol, awful...

Yes, let us think about this. Well... in the other way, a banana going down would look like a penis at rest...

[ericr]

a banana in space!







I cheated a bit, by allowing for extended wheels and at the same time putting it on the booster ;-) because both views are nice

The shuttle is an Academy 1/144 (of which I had some cheap copies, still one left ...)

[TheChronicOne]

 



You done gone bananas, bro!  Love the primary colors rig!!!    That shuttle worked out well, the scale seems perfect with the banana. 

Odd that you posted this, I started a Shuttle back in 1991 and I was contemplating just minutes agou picking it up again to do more work.


You have to name your shuttle.  Bananaprise? Dibananery?  Something...     

[PR19_Kit]

Shouldn't the banana bit be yellow? 

[ericr]

thanks for your appreciation !

Shouldn't the banana bit be yellow? 

remember, this is whifffffff 

anyway, it is improved by fitting wings (might be some room for additional improvement though)

[DogfighterZen]

Oh wow!!
This reminds me of BananaMan...  these would be sweet rides for him!

cute, I didn't know bananaman :
I am designing a whole suite of aircraft for him across the ages (wait and see, more to come ;-) )

[ericr]

there are not only bananas in life :

"this is not a pipe" (as Magritte once said) but made of one, with elements from a Mi-1 helicopter in 1/72 :







as most of you will have promptly noticed, appropriate weighting in order to avoid tail-sitting
involved a quite delicate front wheel placement

[TheChronicOne]

Nutty!!   

What's up with the tail rotor?!   


Looks great!! You have me wanting to try something like this...   flowers and fruit and pipes 'n stuff....  man..   ;D   Inspired.

In fact, I think I was half awake half asleep when I started dreaming up stapler mods....
