This part of the swap definitely has a charm to it.  I'll be looking forward to seeing what the other half develops into.

I liked your animal / machine mashups but your aircraft chimeras are even better!

That freighter-rotodyne looks so right! It has a vaguely Soviet look to it (not just because it's mostly red)

That is an inspired combination!

Eric unerringly always picks the right color, at least as  I see it.

Great stuff!

some kits come with missiles, big enough to be carrying a pilot, so what if they were manned vehicles after all?
