Yeehaw! That thar's a real barn-burner!

Here's a real departure for me. I figured I'd stretch myself. I'm usually a
real plate-monger, and this model is almost entirely bricks.

I had sketched The Buzzard weeks ago, and failed to build it some three
seperate times before finally breaking myself of my plate-crutch. I'm pretty
happy with the results.

I like the stout shape of it--I wanted something reminiscent of WWI fighters.

I haven't written up anything just yet, but here's the pics:

I'd be pleased to hear any comments or suggestions.

Nifty craft!  I too do not think you could have achieved the design with
mainly plates.  I like the overall shape and the rear-angled wings.  I can
definitely see the influence from WWII fighters.  I really like the
smoothness of the "plated" surfaces and the stark transition to mechanical
parts.  The vents of the engines and the central ones are really cool.
