Nice!
What about twin-CorDare versions? or an asymmetric single-engine derivative?

He he ... I'm off to the flea market & model train show today so you'll have to wait a few days for what I have in mind next

Tophe · « **Reply #126 on:** June 10, 2012, 11:46:02 AM »

back to the CorDare for versions ... it's obviously a W-(for wobbly)-wing $:-\$

I'm impressed that you were able to resist the temptation to turn those outboard panels into gulls

F-44U variants are creative and inspirational to build one or apply elements of in a kit-bash. :) :) :)

It almost need black crosses on it & a Bv- designation.

I think I need a lie-down before the men in white coats come

Oh NO !! .... quick, erase the evidence before the world sets the International Criminal Court after me

I take solace in that, before me, they will go after the man that inspired & trained me ..... Tophe (all hail the lop-sided master

)

I always have been a legend in my own lunch-time

Tophe · « **Reply #134 on:** June 12, 2012, 11:08:49 AM »

I have erased it, as required, while I don't understand if you were joking or not (in that erasing command)

. If you wanted not to be known, why putting your name on each drawing? I may have discarded this name and the link towards here, but this was a great dreamy invention according to me. Thanks again for it.

Pretty sure he's kidding Tophe

You can't lie down yet! -- where's our F-44U-xxo's carrier stowage configuration image?

raafif · « **Reply #136 on:** June 13, 2012, 07:22:16 AM »

yes, just joking Tophe !

I was tempted to post it on Hyperscale but the flame-wars by those absolute purist rivert-counters would be too much.

apophenia ....
F-44U-xxo carrier stowage configuration ...... hmm lots a work there -- in the thought-train now tho :)

He he. I thought that might happen

Tophe · « **Reply #138 on:** June 13, 2012, 12:00:46 PM »

Thanks. I feel better.
I think dreaming is one of the most peaceful things on Earth, not deserving war... Between victims, we may support each others and sing the glory of the F-44U-xxo... If the JMNs think we are stupid, let them be 'happy' in their sad way... we are simply in a different way. Dream.

raafif · « **Reply #139 on:** July 05, 2012, 09:18:19 AM »

been playing around with Shipbucket & Planebucket drawings for a bit & did these tanks.
SB scale = 2 pixels to 1 foot & FD scale = 22.093 px to 1 meter.

These T-34s are to FD scale.
I used the basic T-34/76 hull / tracks & T-34/85 turret by the other guys but did new wheels, sprockets & idlers for all profiles & totally new turrets / guns for the others. (original items in red frames)

Looking good.

Litvyak · « **Reply #141 on:** July 05, 2012, 10:08:25 AM »

Those look great!

But I'm kinda curious... how do you draw .093 pixel?

well, I find that no two calculations agree (calculator, ruler or "official" conversion tables) so I guess everything's actually "close guesstimate" scale

-- even Tamiya's Spitfires don't conform to the known measurements taken off original unrestored airframes. $:-\$

Love the T-34 conversions any chance for a Syria T-34/122?

dwg · « **Reply #145 on:** July 06, 2012, 12:43:21 AM »

SB scale = 2 pixels to 1 foot & FD scale = 22.093 px to 1 meter.

And here I am debating whether to standardise on 1 pixel to the centimeter or 2 pixels to the centimeter

arc3371 · « **Reply #146 on:** July 06, 2012, 12:58:19 AM »

What is FD Scale? A shipbucket for tanks?

yes ARC, I'm considering a Syrian T-34-122 SP after a Colet 10 x 10 Fire-engine (see below).

SB obviously stands for ShipBucket scale -- a convenient scale of their choosing.

I've no idea what "FD" stands for & it's not explained on that site. Its mainly for AFVs - they shoulda called that sub-forum "Bucket Bucket"

- but it seems that anything goes as there are aircraft there too. I won't be posting there again as the thread-posting rules seem to be very haphazard & the the moderators tend to be extremely Anal about pixel-width of the blank page you draw on -- so you end up with a big blank white page with a tiny drawing in the bottom left hand corner !!

arc3371 · « **Reply #148 on:** July 06, 2012, 06:24:10 AM »

Thanks for the explantion

raafif · « **Reply #149 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:56:16 AM »

next batch of FD stuff .... Bren Carrier is my first 100% original drawing followed by the Mack T3 (wip)
