Hello Everybody!
I just wanted to present my newest airplane MOC: the Messerschmitt Me 323
Transporter. I presented this model at the fan event in Frechen together with a
little diorama:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=226128
Some information about the actual building of the model:
It was very difficult to shape the nose. Especially because of the fact that I
had to tilt the nose and build working opening door hatches into it. I worked
out all kinds of ideas and it took me some endless days until I was happy with
the solution of the nose. I knew that if I was not to shape the nose correctly
the whole project was at stake.
After the nose, the rest of the fuselage and the wings came by very easy to
make. I was also lucky to still have enough of those dark gray Scala flower pots
(which I bought years ago) to shape the engines, since these pieces are nowadays
offered for $20 each at bricklink!
I hope you enjoy the model and will be happy to hear some feedback from you :-)
Best regards
Klaus

With the nose stud pattern angled up at about 25 degrees or so I was surprised to see how well you tied this back in (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

How did you achieve it, and keep the surface so uniform and tight near the joints? Now, all you troops need are (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

This model must be rather heavy - have you strengthened the wings internally in some (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| Klaus, WOW! This is quite amazing! I can't say much but echo everyone else sentiments, you've pulled off some very challenging angles and shapes here, and the result is terrific! Always interesting to see WWII hardware I hadn't seen before. Does the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)
