What would you like to see designed? - Page 48

Well, it'll be the Cheyenne, an as yet undetermined Rutan plane(probably the Variviggen), then the XP-79 Flying Ram (I'm trying to alternate Rutan planes), then a helicopter, as soon as I figure out which one.

I've been thinking of releasing a series of TV helicopters and getting around the copyright issues in a sneaky underhanded way (evil grin)...release a base model of the helicopter they're based on through ecardmodels, then release a conversion kit thru the download section here. For example, I'd release the Bell 222 and Jetranger models in a particular color scheme, but with out markings, on ecardmodels, then upload a file of the parts to convert them to their TV versions here. Hopefully it works out.

I have the O-2 Skymaster in the planning stage. I already restarted a Rhino model of it (I lost the one I was working on in a hard drive crash a few months ago.)

Forgive my not having seen your reply earlier.

I'd be very glad to see what you come up with as a design for both the AH56 and 02A.

Regarding the AH56, as I said to the guys on my WW2 forum, : "For sheer 'OH F**K THAT's after Me!!!' the AH56 is hard to beat."
Which gives the aircraft a high appeal factor to me, as does the A10A Thunderbolt II/Warthog.

Respectful suggestion for a Rutan aircraft : Voyager.

Reason for suggestion is that there *was* a paper model available some years ago, but I've never seen it built, and I have an odd feeling it was a 2.5 D cut-out-slide-together kit.

Kind and Respectful Regards MurphyAA, Uyraell.

Fiddler's Green has a Rutan Voyager, but apperently, it's still in the pipeline... And there is a glider 2.5d version out there indeed.

Many Thanks for the confirmation and link, Legion.

I'd not visited FG for quite a while, despite being on their email-list.
In fact, FG was my first true discovery of paper modelling, when I answered an advert-link that led to their give-away mini models.

Which began the collection and learning phase of Paper Modeling wherein I'm now in the comparatively early stages.

Kind and Respectful Regards Legion, Uyraell.

Small question, MurphyAA, if you're doing the XP79 are you also doing the MX324 which contributed to the XP79 and XP79B?
I have seen one model of the MX324 scratch-built, complete with transparent "threebubble" canopy, which covered the prone pilot's head and shoulders, but the builder of that model spent something like a month getting the canopy alone correct, and that was in (I think) 1:24 scale.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Something along the lines of a greek rowing vessle would be nice. A bireme or even a trireme.

Hello, OhioMike!

There is a Greek Bireme available at Schreiber-Bogen.com (Aue-Verlag, Möckmühl/Germany). Scale is 1/100, Retail-Price 9.90 € w/out P&P.

Kind regards

Just uploaded the CH-56 Cheyenne, and XP-79 Flying Ram to Ecardmodels.com.

I just started the Rutan voyager, but I wanna get it right, so it'll be a week or two.

I started to designing a Trireme one myself but not easy at all. I think a bit hard to start on something like that with the 3d software as trying to learn to use the 3d software. I may get back to doing it to old fashioned way with pencil and paper in the next few weeks.
