made from what? look like sprue almost... that dark grey plastic...

Made from leftover movement tray kits.

They have that angle I need for the area in the drawing where the wings join the whole thing and will also house the Big Shootas!

aha, sounds like a good plan...and if yo got regiments bases then i guess right that you once had at least a smallish force of a WHFB faction?

it is taking up shape as you move along, this now ressembles something airplane like at least^^
have you thought about how amny crewmembers this bomma will need for operating?

Considering the size of the cockpit area, I awill make it a tandem cockpit for a pilot/bombardier/radioman, and the turret for the defensive gunner, a three man plane like many WWII aircraft of this type were.

oh i have anticipated quite more in the lines of about five...well you´re the mek^^

The rest of it is engines, fuel and weapons! Five or so would be a light to medium bomma

ah so! *nods* i understand...

I know my WWII air-tech

lol....what was your learned profession then again? by the way, whats with your exams again? got some results?

Viktor von Domm wrote:lol....what was your learned profession then again? by the way, whats with your exams again? got some results?

LOL! Obsession/hobby of my youth, devouring info of WWII as well as the collection of the models of their machines with the data fax that came with said models.

My scores are back up to where they were last time, still needs improvement though!

does this mean you have to make the tests again? bugger...

i met quite some peeps that are still interrested in WWII it seems, quite a big lobby out there...the things my own granddad told me were quite raising the back of my neck so i wasn´t that enthusiastic about it then... but i can see after viewing moves and the likes that the time has appeal... some games i´ve played run in that time line...and rolepolaying in that area is quite interresting... also it was the last time in warhistory wrer marksmanship was to be your main talent and not computer know how...later on the pc war won over...

Well, no do overs apparently with online tests, but I am doing better this time around than last.

Yeah, soldiers back then needed to rely on much grittier skills and tough it out more, no computers, actual map reading and marksmanship

and no gamevids when bombing half a nation into stoneage...back then at least they knew wjhat they did...that changed with hiroshima and nagasaki...read one an interview of one of the bombers from them... they never really understood what they did...bet the helifighters in nam knew what they did...afterwards they had to cope for what was done in the fields...

Every time I come here, I see more progress. But Im getting impatient, WEZ WANT TA SEE DA BOMMA DROPIN SUM BOMMS!

True, Helicopters do get closer to their targets, as did fighter-bombers of WWII, when they had to strafe targets fairly close(Like the helis), The bigger bomvbers dropped from high altitude, so they did not see up close the damage.

Hey! I gotta add da wings and such first, but once I use it in an Apoc game, I will make sure to use the camera and show the carnage!
