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:

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

Hi Klaus,

Excellent work as usual. There's far too many good bits for me to single many
out but I'll try. The nose is spectacular. I really love these built up, heavily
snotted slope noses which are somewhere between classic lego park sculpting and
modern techniques. Your use of the arch behind the cockpit is just the sort of
detail that makes me happy. Also, as Ben mentioned the integration of the angled
nose into the body is seamless which is so difficult to manage.

Superb.

Tim
