Oh yes Bananacar is definitely a natural for the Racing GB!

Well done, eric!

some aircraft have a snoot, nearly a face of a cat or a dog, and I had to try that ;
plus, it helps me finally using bits and pieces in my stash/scrap box

The space shuttle with a cat

the same shuttle (same scale, that is), but with a dog :

or another cat with a B-17 (1/48) :

or yet another cat, a bit bigger, with a Victor :

Hi all

photobucket just changed its behavior, and does not show my pictures any more.
Maybe I missed an annoucement but I am surprised.

Another problem is that I don't manage to access my account : even when I ask for a password change I don't get the email, even in my spam.

I am looking for alternative solutions to continue posting pictures.

Hi eric. I'm sorry to hear you're one of the Photobucket victims.

I've started looking for new photo hosting and while I haven't used this yet, I've heard good things about them:

imgur.com

Best of luck!

thanks for the tips, I will see how to resume my flow of images

ericr · « **Reply #958 on:** July 22, 2017, 04:45:45 PM »

so, let's go back to business, now that imgur has offered hospitality

still under the impression of this record cover :

I had a try at a clarinet, with a 1/72 B-17 this time :

in yellow (from a spray can : smoother result)

oh, and the (toy) clarinet still is functional

With the airflow opposite to what we knew... either it does not work (does not play) or else: this is Genius...

ericr · « **Reply #961 on:** July 24, 2017, 04:09:58 PM »

thanks !

on the question of the orientation, I indeed followed the model of the LP cover,
whereas the other direction would make sense for producing sound.

I had the case in the past, with a flute, and I consequently tried both sides,
one with a F7E (chinese Mig 21), the other with a B727 :

Two rare examples of Baroque planes...

ericr · « **Reply #963 on:** July 25, 2017, 05:18:24 PM »

a little bit baroque indeed

ericr · « **Reply #964 on:** July 27, 2017, 06:08:51 PM »

a kitbash, which fitted surprisingly well

the wings and tail of the Blinder had been used long ago for a flying pencil build ;
the Victor nose appeared on cat more recently

Gorgeous ericr

but not quite insane enough

The Big Gimper · « **Reply #966 on:** July 27, 2017, 08:10:32 PM »

A very nice Vinder. Or a Blictor?

Tophe · « **Reply #967 on:** July 27, 2017, 08:19:21 PM »

Pleasant!

Agree, it looks quite normal!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #969 on:** July 28, 2017, 03:06:50 AM »

Very nice

elmayerle · « **Reply #970 on:** July 28, 2017, 04:58:34 AM »

Very aesthetically appealing and looks like it should exist. Perhaps the Tu-22V, NATO codename: "Beauty"?

ericr · « **Reply #971 on:** July 28, 2017, 05:08:07 AM »

thank all !

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #972 on:** July 29, 2017, 10:07:54 PM »

That's a real stunner and one of your finest, eric!

If you put red stars on it I bet you could fool a lot of people into believing it was real.

Great stuff!

Agreed. Ditto for roundels and anti-flash white. A 'Beauty' indeed

Looks (is?) faster than a Victor.
Impressed you found fuselage-wing combo that works so well.
