It seems to have happened crossing the event horizon . . .

!943 was a crazy time . . .

In its dream glory . . .

Molding crew alert, where do those elves go?

This one's has a lot of spirit, Dave.

The bird spans so many technical realms at once, canard, futuristic style, high aspect ratios, turbo props, and that wonderful British elliptical Lancaster rudders! Think Wrights, Rutan (Voyager etc), Avanti (Piaggio P 180) just too many facets to escape the gravity of the imagination . . .

Added the top dome and side fun turrets . . .

Now we are ready to pour the latex!

**Blackronin** · 08-25-2014 23:30

Are you going to make copies of this one?

Nice!!!

**clipper1801** · 08-30-2014 13:16

The die is cast! Biggest mold for me and the elves yet! 2 lbs of latex . . .

You do make some very inspiring models David, trouble is you make it sound so easy but I am sure a lot of hard work goes into each model. I remain envious of your skills

The first of the Vickers have been pulled and they are BIG!

**Blackronin** · 09-01-2014 01:53

**clipper1801** · 09-01-2014 11:55

Yikes!
The Third Reich survived Hitler, Hortens and Pfeils are zooming over London, but we are fighting back with our super bombers.
1946 never looked so interesting

Calm down John. It's only a dream. At the moment.
