That Gee Bee double-decker is really clever, I reckon the scale of the figures is 1/144? As a concept, the scale shift opens up many possibilities.  <_<

That GeeBee is fantastic, and having recently got the DoraWings kit in 1/144 scale Ideas are swiming around in my head.
Mind you it is going to be very difficult to get figures small enough!  :rolleyes:

From the looks of it, I think it started life as a space station.

Does the aircraft above remind anyone else of the Planet Satellite, details below?

Yes, but it's on the back-burner for the moment. I decided I'd try to draw the wing/fuselage connection in 3D and then get it 3D Printed. This will lead to other builds I have in mind. The wing/fuselage development has turned out quite complicated doing it in 2D and lately my mind hasn't been on it.

It's at this stage at the moment.

If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike
