These are all brilliant characters as usual, but I am peculiarly pleased to notice that under all his cold weather gear, Chubby appears to be wearing a shirt and tie.

Standards must be maintained, doncher know...

He most definitely wearing one in his photos.
Here's a quick pic. Of the slowly grown pile of Grey.

I think the first pic, pretty much sums up the whole project. With out the need for much of an explanation.
So rather than build an insanely oversized model from the film.
I've decided to use a Horten cargo plane as a substitute. Admittedly I'm not aiming for a scale model of one . Rather something inspired by it. I've chosen to reduce the engines down to two. Simply to keep the wingspan manageable on a table.( 42cm-ish) Then just because I'm an idiot and the whole thing looked a little boring from above. I've totally ignored the closed cockpit and opened it up and added a little abstract cockpit detail.
I do have to make another pilots seat.As the original is MIA ( presumed buried in the cat.)
I've painted the upper hull/ wing before building the  cargo hold hull just so I could test my colour scheme before painting the fiddly bits on the fuselage  and sulking because it'd gone wrong.

I had been completely unaware of the existence of this ridiculous contraption, but you've done it more than justice with your card skills (card shark?)!  8)

In fact; your version will undoubtedly be a lot more succesful than the original!
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Wish you would do a how-to youtube video or some such - another incredible achievement.

Here's a picture of the crew.( They've already gone off for casting.) They'll be standing in for Pulp adventure,or until I finish the'wings across the World' figures,and of course 'the Boss'/'the Chief ' and his cronies.

I will be doing a tutorial on the 'Dragon Rapide' inspired plane. It's virtually the same techniques just twice as many wings

Love the Deco styling. Is it beastly heavy?
