Bladerunner's chop-shop

Hi guys,

I absolutely love everyone's work... truelly inspirational.  ;D

I received an invite to this forum, and I'll try not to dissappoint. Dont have any current ideas, but I'll post some of the work I've done over the past year or so. I'm not too concerned about the quality and complexity of my drawings regarding layers, shading etc., but merely share ideas, and really dont care wether they are plausable or not. I love SAAF subjects, so lots of those.
































Cheers
John

Lovely stuff, John.

How about a navalized Clunk?

Thanks for the warm welcome and comments :-[

Interesting idea. Any specific idea regarding operator?

Anyway, had to go through many photobucket pages to dig out more of my work from the past.

If I was only half as good with plastic as some of you guys are with profiles...

Outstanding stuff, Bladerunner! I especially like the transport/commercial versions of the C-71. Amazing!!!

Canada and/or India to start with.
 :yarr:

After that just about any operator of a large enough carrier.

Hi Gang,

Thanks for the kind comments.   ;D

That hump on the Phantom is just smoothing out some joins and a bit of exageration.



I'll attempt a "Clunk" for Canada and India soon. A wing-fold would be cool.

In the meantime, some more of my older work.





















Cheers
John

Hi JCF,

Awesomely inspirational stuff!   :want:   Thanks. Now I'm excited about it!

On the topic of VSTOL naval aircraft, one of my all time favourite designs I did about 2 years ago, is the V-29 Akula. I even built it in 1/72.



Here's some more old drawings.

Okay,

Here is my first attempt at the VF-100. Added an emergency arrester hook, this bird looks heavy... :D

Some really nice stuff there.  The Neptunes are a subtle whif indeed, whilst the VF-100 is brilliant.

I like your modified Neptune with the turbine and multi-blade propellers.  Nice work!

The J-35 Drakens in uncommon markings also caught my attention, thought they were Mirage IIIs at first glance.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.   :-[

Yip, especially the two-seater. I didnt like the double-bubble, so I used a Mirage IIIB canopy.

Anyway, now I'm hooked on the Canuck, and just had to do a few more.







Cheers

Here is yet another experiment on the "Clunk". Two RR Pegasus, but with only two slightly larger swivelling nozzles facing outboard. :serious-business:

Somebody needs to build those SAAF Neptunes. Those look so incredibly plausible it'd be sure to mess with the JMN's heads at a show.
