| (...) Nice work, Soren. I like the six wheeler. Excellent greeblage. And, that front is inspired. Though I like the side view, it kinda makes me wish (URL) these> were more readily available. Sigh. The probe is fun. I like the colour scheme, (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) Thank you. An interior is forthcoming. (...) Thanks. I was just messing around, I'm kinda surprised by the way it turned out. Hmmm, it is a bit whalish. I didn't notice until you pointed it out. Soren (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: New MOCs
|
| (...) Excellent! I really like the APC! It has a nice hefty shapem and I really like the greebles, and the front lip/cowl whatever you call it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the pieces that you used for the turret's base, there's no way that (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New MOCs
|
| (...) Oh nice...the APC really has me. Is that a technic turntable for the turret? It's so simple, and beefy. I also quite like the fly wheels inside the wheel hubs. Probes. *shudder* Great stuff as usual Soren. Cheers, -Gil (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New MOCs
|
| I love the APC: it's beautiful. It has a great System look. I look foward to seeing the interior—it would definitely be worth the effort working one out. The color scheme of the robriq is really cool. The shape reminds me of a whale. Nice builds. (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

|
| Hi Christian "Sweep and Taper" sounds like a weekend of frustration! :) But you are right and I think I will go for it with SNOT. It was useful to read both yours and Lindsay's comments! As for the tail. Yep, more red would be a good thing. I can (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| Hi Lindsay Thanks for your comments and ideas. I have tried building wings with SNOT before with reasonable success: (URL) I hadn't thought about SNOT when I was building "the wing" but I think it would allow for more tapering. Bit worried about the (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: The Flying Wing

| | | | | Re: The Flying Wing
|
| (...) Yes--the "straightness" was also my big concern. The plane in Temple of Doom does look like a very heavily modified Horten wing, so if you dig around on Luft46 you should be able to get the specific geometries in drawings. The Horten wings did (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: The Flying Wing
|
| (...) It will tricky though. Sweep and taper is not easy to do. While you are at it, more red on the tails please. And those might need to extend further aft. That would also help soften the "straightness". Christian (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: The Flying Wing
|
| (...) Hi Christian You are absolutely right. I think a little modification is needed. Thanks for your observation. I'll probably take more pictures after modififying the wing. Chris (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
| | | | | Re: The Flying Wing
|
| (...) Excellent idea. As you write the best part is the rear gunner. I am looking forward to seing more pictures. However I think that the planform is too straight. The wings needs to be swept back and maybe more tapering. Christian (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | The Flying Wing

| After watching "Raiders" again for the umpteenth time, I made a quick sketch of the flying wing and then proceeded to build it (with Indy getting beaten up in the background). It was this plane that led me to the "prototypes" webpages and new ideas (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| As mentioned a few months ago, Bryce posted both an F-4 and F-105 harkening back to the Nam era fighter jets. Offline to him I had mentioned seeing a detachment of F-100s stationed at Missouri Air National Guard in St Louis. In no short order he had (...) (20 years ago, 15-May-04, to lugnet.build.military)
