Duck monoplane & He70, yellow : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[NARSES2]

Almost looks as though an owl met a bat - very good 

yes indeed, I thought that too when I saw the result 

I think it's the way the owls wing attaches to the leading edge of the aircraft wing, makes them look like a bat's forelegs and the way they attach to it's wings

we shall see what it becomes ...

a new brid / aicraft hybrid (I still have an eagle head or two in my spare parts ... this is not over yet)





this involves a small 1/200 B-17 I had bought cheap, not exactly knowing what to do with it, quite some time ago

the eagle head comes form the Lindberg American eagle



I used wings for other projects, like this one, where wings span was just the same as this 1/48 F-14




of for a flying boat with Revell's tug



and the bodies were also used in hydrid assemblies :

Those bird like jets are just superb - sculpture is the only category that I can think of that suits them

Superb These really remind me of those wonderful designs by Kevin O'Neill in 2000AD comic years ago....Gooney Birds in Nemesis and the fantastic Metalzoic.

thanx!

(but I have a weird feeling : I don't see the pictures in my post ... I hope you do?  )

I'd forgotten them.  I've got scans of the complete Nemesis saga on my other computer.  I'll have to dig the relevant pages out so Eric can see them.

I'd be glad to see that, I don't know about it, and all sources of inspiration are welcome !

Here you go Eric.
