Ju188 & Tu-95 (1/200), yellow : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[elmayerle]

These are wild! I really like them because its pretty rare to find a model of an animal airplane mix, no I get to see a lot more

... so are we ever going to get to see red, yellow, blue tiger stripes or camouflage?

For some reason, that last line makes me think of F11F-1 wings, and other bits, mated to a Bengal tiger.

This sounds like an engineer's approval! Congratulations again, ericr...

like this?



the camouflage pattern is inspired by a dutch Fokker seaplane of the 30s : the black and white photograph did not exclude this interpretation ...

thanks for your appreciation!

here is another bird/aircraft : I had a head left from a previous mix, coming from an american eagle :



ans I had in mind a picture I saw somewhere on the net :



so I picked a quadri-jet in my stash, of an appropriate scale :



and here is how it looks :

Delicious once again!

Beautiful!!  That one almost cries out to be finished in an Air Force One color scheme.

I can't help it, but the geese really made me chuckle!

Not only are your talent and skill completely off the charts, but your sense of humor is a delight as well!

Outstanding!!!

thanks for your chuckles 
I think they are a bit expressive, somehow, indeed    :)

I am into something a bit wild I'm afraid ...

when I saw this :



I thought of that :



we shall see what it becomes ...

(no matter what psychiatrists say) the connections in your brain make you the best of us!

[CSMO]

You don't think "outside-the-box". You must think "outside-the-zoo". I admire the creativity of your art. That and the fact that the rivet counters can't touch you.

Well done, sir!

Adios, Larry.

[ericr]

thanks for these out-of-norm compliments 

I just hope not to have to meet feather-counters! 

and I sometimes make mixes with other realms than animal ...

[Brian da Basher]

"Feather counters" has me LOLing!

Keep those wonders coming! They're incredibly delightful!

May you imagine a Siamese-twin bird/aircraft, on a P-38 basis or else, with 2 birds...?

Now THIS sounds very interesting indeed ... do you have anything to post? Would these be food, machines ... or .... or ... people

(I hope you appreciate the orientation of the wings, forward swept ...    )

Another winner!

Delicious little bird/plane...

We now see the real reason airports have bird scarers, its to protect the virtue of all the aeroplanes now we can see what happens when they are left un supervised.

[ericr]

thanks all !
