I don't mean the band, exactly, but rather the iconic if unlikely aircraft that graced the cover of the LP After Bathing At Baxter's, penned by Ron Cobb.



Since it's essentially an Edwardian-style house with wings and engines, I'm guessing that the aerodynamics would be... tricky at best. But I've seen videos of equally improbable things getting airborne, so I'm wondering whether a modelling enthusiast has ever tried to build a scale model of that plane and made it fly.

I don't believe so but some small insane part of me is sorely tempted to do so! ;D :o

I reckon I could knock up something similar with two Matchbox Heyfords, some model railway buildings, some Evergreen and the engines from a Ju 52...

...I have all those bar the buildings.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
