is this the lower side upwards or the upperside upwards we see now? the frontpiece is for stabilizing the peak when making the shape? (sorry crude english here^^)

one, would you be offended if i looted that idea?

two, wha thickness plasicard are you using?

Oh the open side is the top of the plane.

Using several thicknesses, it would be the mod to thick stuff, not sure of the exact measures. But yeah, make it any way or variation ya like!

Nose gaining shape.

Almost ready for the air intake or "mouth"

Notice the nose is not purely pointy!

go figure a stubby nose^^ now perspective can set in^^ thanks shaso...

No problemo! This will be a heckuva plane!

oh that reminds me to ask for a meter check? how long is it in cm?

Its starting to look like something!

For some reason it makes me think of the clasic Eagle Transporters from Space 1999.

Which is a good thing, even though I know it won't look anything like that once done.
Hmm, actually....starts planning...

yep i had a fleeting thought in that direction too...the structure atm looks that way...tho this feeling will fade away when the wings happen...

Oh, you had to go and post a pic didn't you? That had me searching for models on the interwebz, going to be a long search, those things ain't cheap these days, and I know I haven't got my old one lying around anymore. Guess I'll be spending some time on e-bay soon...

the last one is buy it now and not costing too heavy...

tho a german site... but i could help in that matter if it isn´t available international...

Ohh, you tease you Actually, I'm pretty sure I still have my Dinky version in my parent's garage, along with other sci-fi toys, it's a kit for looting I'm after. And I'm happy to take my tiime looking for now as I haven't the pennies to spend on that for now

well who has those anyway... the pennies i am talking about^^

Vik: (oh that reminds me to ask for a meter check? how long is it in cm? )

So far, tail bob to nose 37cm roughly!

Kingcracker: (Its starting to look like something!)

Yeah, it is shapring up nicely enough! muwahahahyaha!

Monkeytroll: (For some reason it makes me think of the clasic Eagle Transporters from Space 1999. )

Interesting that it is reminiscent of that venerable space transporter! I used to have the AMT model back in the 1980's of it.

37 cm...well you will certainly mount it on afitting flying base, non? any ideas on that or still too early for these thoughts? i saw once a valk iirc that had smoke and oily flames to cover the rod of the flying base...

I do have a length of brass rod sitting about, more than enough so, if the plane makes it wobble, I can make the stand from more of it so it is not too high and stable.

well i am most confident that you will get it set up most secure, was rather talking about what style you will go for... by the way on what base will you mount it? a pice of wood?

I will likely try and find a nice piece of wood for the weight and the balance! This plane will also be quite red!

tell you what the main color should look like that:




i think this would make it stand out hugely^^

Ah, but flyboyz are a Speedfreak group, and they madly paint all red! Coz red ones go faster!!

hmmm... how can one stand in the way of such arguments...

Yeah, 'tis the orky ways of their paint works, something that zooms that fast even as shiny as that trailer is, would get red paint splashed and rubbed all over ion a sloppy Orky fashion, applied with great enthusiasm to be sure though!

Isnt Snogrot that biker guy mentioned in that short paragraph in the codex?

No, not him, hes mentioned on the bikers info page, in the short story at the bottom.

also in the hands of orks you probably wont find any polished metal anywhere...only coroded ones...

Almost all the ork names come to some sort of sound like those Jollydevil.

Yeah Vik, they do have rust or red paint. Yellow if they are the well off Bad Moons

Mhm, checked it and its actually Skabgrot.
Geuss youre right, they all do sound the same.

Well, Ork-speak is very simple.
