This young man arrived in the post today so i can now carry on building.

as it is a private plane the forward gun turret had to go leaving me with a big

wedge in the planes nose,in comes a young air man about to go on his first ever flight.

He has just finished cleaning the windows of the forward viewing room.

i have just finished the basic floor and bulk head so now all i have to do is

detail the room and build the glass work for the room.

finally got her stitched up and starting to look like plane.Because this is a

civilian plane i got rid of the rear turret and blanked off the back with some

card but it just dose not look right so i dont know what i am going to do with it yet

the forward turret is also gone and i am trying to make a glass canopy for it.

I'd forgotten about the stampunk builds - been so involved with my Aliens build that this lot slipped my attention! I love the big piston and flywheel on each wing and those "engines" look superb, The bridge looks great as well.

Would the space for the rear turret area be a good place for a winch or anchor or something?

Good luck with the front canopy!

i was thinking the same thing Kallisti but i didn't think that that the "normal" anchor shape would

look that good on the back so after some thought i have come up with this.

I have also got the stacks fitted and am about ready to glue the wings on.

Blimey I missed this one being completed - I think I was too obsessed with my Aliens Dropship at the time :) Glad you liked my anchor idea - the finisehd result looks totally superb!
