they´re currently on a sideprjoct list i am currently working on a desin for the VTOL propellerengines ....have to find pieces to create four of them in one go...hardest part so far is making the propellers, as i want to have a more helicopter kind a look...maybe i am able to show progress tomorrow as i have cut up some clothpegs from plastics that currently seems apropriate to the task...
i could go the plasticcrad way but currently i want to do it the household way and not the total scratchbuilt way...
got it. Hope it goes well so far you show off mad skills sir!

I hope this shows what I mean. You can use the same engines for liftoff and straight flight, if they can turn from up-down to the side. rotate, on an axle, like a tire or wheel, so the propeller part is either facing the ground, or facing backwards.

your pic is helping me understnd your concept. i for now never thought about multi directional propellers....will have to give that a shot...that will be in terms of modelling a bit more to construct tho....
at Draglide12,
be sure to post some pics of yours as i might pinch an idea or two from you^^ also nice to get someone inspired by my dabbling in scratchbuilding^^
at neil,
thx neil, hope you had a great christmas^^, did santa surprise you with some gaming thingies?

do you get money for hildsupport from the government too in britain? well certainly helps a lot^^ to us. i will look a bit more serious for a parttime job in the 2011...i am torn between thinking about spending money earned then^^ and going to work...during my lifetime i havent found a job that i would have done for the amount of money satisfied or for less because the job was satisfiing...the jobs i did generally sucked and i think thats what will stay with me...
jep the kids and wife (dont forget the wife^^) take much of my free time these days. when i am reading/writing at dakka i could work for my airship...but i like to use you all^^ for a bit of letting of steam built up over the day...
i am still by the way plotting on how to do the propellers for vtol...
i wont promise pics for now as i think it is highly doubtful to achieve atm anything worthwihle...so please stay with this blog regardless of the now empty banter from me^^

oh dear followers of the victorian flame thats fuling the steam...
my family went out for a little treasure hunting on our killing fields of last night. they salvaged quite a massive amount of rocket and firecracker assorted plastic leftovers...
i got tons of small halfglobes for more of my favorite sponsons for tau weapons as shown earlier in this thread and i have some new parts i will show in no short time...
and the best part is: after long haggling about how to do more propellers for vtol the kids dragged no less then four propellers out of snow and ice for me to now have a very definite idea on how to do them lot of them...
be prepared!!!
vik over for now, cause later this day treasure hunt part two will take its place^^

Ah yes, the Fasching fireworks,,,did I spell that correctly? I remember firing a cap pistol that had colored flares just for the year end celebrations back in 1984
I can't wait to see what use they get put to.
Oh yeah. I got more fluff for checking out.

well spellt correctly only missed the occasion^^ fasching is were former christians try to get the evil ghosts to be pushed away by booze and dressing up hillarious...not to be compared when former christians try to get rid of ghosts by booze and "feuerwerk" on silvester...
really there is a big difference... probably in the kindof booze one has to drink to rid themselves of ghosts by adding spirits to one self... cant really tell as my body is a slightly malformed temple...^^
also check out this thread here for the aforementioned crackers...:
Make the propellers!
Oh and try and have a hunt around for a base- then you can mount them on the underside.

Nice! Plenty to make all the bombs and torpedoes for your war-zeppelin!

at henners
it will get four very big propellers for vtol flight so this will keep it upright and also it will gain a lot of weight at the bottom, so fear not! all is going to be mended acordingly^^
at shrike? seems i dont understand waht your refering to? will show the big base for the model in the following week so i think so...and follow my other material thread there might be a hint or two as what kind of base it would become...and
though neils not here now he might had an early glimpse of things to come as he suggested something...see one of his posts here for reference...
at shaso
hmmm bombs and torpedos...tho it is kind of the same thing as for destructional force i dont like bombs but think torpedos are cool...dumb am i not?
tho bobs are the obvious choice for a beast like that...and maybee even space will allow that too, we will see....
so here is a quick mock up to a suggested vision by shrike,
here´s to you man, did what i could , some constructive critizism is needed as i think this is not the end for that part of construct. sure there will be rivets and cables and stuff but how could i make them blades look more convincing?
