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

[steelpillow]

thanks !

practicality might be slightly suboptimal here indeed 

Setting one engine in forward gear and the other in reverse, otherwise it won't spin. Or, maybe that's it! Competition time, can Red hammer Yellow into going backwards or will Yellow's secret but untried tweak win the day? What a great TV show, what can we call it? 2CV Wars? Wheels of Fury? Would we see a yin-yang coupling of 2CV (front wheel drive) and VW Beetle (rear wheel drive) tussle it out?

That's pretty wild !

I think I mentioned this LP cover to you come time ago :



I like this kind of chance meetings, so I had a try at it with a plastic gun, and wings from a Vigilante kit wreck :

I like this in some abnormal way, sorry.
Instead of clapping my hands for this great killer, I see this as a medicine to caricature my tendency to love killing machines, which is a problem for a pacifist like me. Thanks psy doctor!

Some of your works are going to be worth a fair bit in a few years time. They really are interesting Pop art reflecting the 60's/70's. Fascinating sphere of work 

[TheChronicOne]

Interesting...


I would have liked it to have the grip and mag on the bottom of the airplane, like ordnance, instead of on top. That said, that would be contradictory to the original artwork and aim of the project. Just an observation!  I know the handle/grip served as the fin in the painting but yours had one already,  so it looks "upside down" to me.   

This is great; it gets one to thinking, and I'm not sure what, entirely, to make of it. 

[ericr]

thanks all !

the fact is I wanted to build a remake of the model on the LP cover,
but with the difference of the bullets carrier (a bit Kalashnikov-like)
it has a different look, maybe less clear than the original

I like that Eric but think maybe it should have a cork in the end of the barrel or maybe a flower sticking out?

I recently discovered the existence of the quite extraordinary Bleriot 125 :



and was driven to try out a canadian version (as if the backup story was that the Bleriot inc. engineer responsible for that design had emigrated to Canada, joined DHC, and reactivated the concept using material existing there) :





note the slight nose asymetry ase well

Tophe will LOVE it!

Twin fuselages and asymmetry too!

[Tophe]

Tophe will LOVE it!

Yes I do love this one very much!

Twin fuselages and asymmetry too!

Where is the asymmetry? I have searched for it but in vain...

The noses are different. The original M'box kit came with two lengths of nose, very handy as Ericr has used one one on side and the other on the other.... 

[Tophe]

Thanks Kit, this is obvious now that you told us!
And thanks ericr for this piece of genius!

EDIT: once more, ericr enters the History of Asymmetric Aircraft, see today's post at (the temporary end of) http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/Asymm_addition.htm

The Revell re-pop still has them both.
