The other mystery build

[jeffpn]

A bit late. I'm off the grid now. Do you think I'm going to take my laptop to a McD's or something?!

Looks interesting. Maybe when I get home.

This one is for Jeff but? It has to be one of the most elegant new designs I've ever seen. This plane has been in my bookmarks for quite a while.

Great design: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-vATphujn4

Myself personally, I love the double open cockpit but it does come with a full canopy.

Now to find a 3-view, somewhere in my HD I have one.

Looks like the batmobile from Adam West made it to an airplane. Sechsy but odd.

LOL! Like I said there is a full canopy version. Funny, now that you said that

[flexible]

His and hers cockpits, does it have a window you can rool up?

I'll pick this one up if 3 views can be found. The lines on this one are sexy. I like the double bubble version best.

Boof? A tracer? All this time I thought you were a sculptor!!!

[Boof69]

I build these models like everyone else. I need them 3 views.

In all seriousness, I doubt any of us are complete tracers. The 3 views just aren't accurate enough and sometime lack detail we want to add. I know on my FE2b, I had to do the engine almost without 3 views (I could get very basic dimensions like length from them.) I worked with photos, none of which were oriented correctly for a 3 view.

And I'm pretty positive you didn't have a 3 view of those rubber bands you recently created.

A little confused here Norton. The 1st pic., looking at the seats/seating arrangement, implies that possibly three/four people can fit inside the plane(one person each side of the console/s). Yet, looking at the backrests and pic. #4, suggests only enough room for two. I don`t see that guy straddling the console??,ouch, or enough room for four. Can you clarify the seating arrangement/configuration??

[jeffpn]

I laid a straightedge (a cube) to make those rubberbands straight across the wing! I know how wide a rubberband is, and how thick it is. Yup, traced!!

Obviously, you have a point. There has to be some artistic ability to do this. There are some parts where it's tough to get a good picture, and you have to use your mind's eye to get it done. My models are probably 80-85% "traced."

[phrank]

It's an illusion, you are seeing the right seat on the other side of the center console.

[Norton]

Thanks Phrank, i was just about to say that.

Might be calling Poland for a 3-view of this one.

Got it ... GEEZ, talk about tunnel vision
