Brilliant!
Love the goggles, they add to the hilarity of the whole idea.

good stuff! Express bacon delivery!

I think with the exhaust trail coming out of the back, it should be called smoked bacon!

Added more Green Stuff. Can definitely tell I don't sculpt at all, but this contest has pushed me out of my comfort zone and nudged me to try it, so I'm happy I'm expanding my skill within the hobby.

I used an old brush (pulling out all the bristles) to get a sculpting tool to do the rivets:

I think it looks okay (I have no idea why that photo is off centre - I blame the eve of a looong weekend

).

Also found two snotlings to fly with my pig, they're not being helpful to each other:

The angle's a little off - but the back guy is really clinging on for dear life. The PVA glue in the smoke trail is taking a little long to dry.

Think I'll be painting by Friday (and maybe I'll get the tower done, we'll see).

I love this!

What about sculpting flames on the end of that goblins club? As if he just lit it?

I have the same goblins Wirelizard is using for his build, and one of them is holding a torch. I was going to base him on the launch ramp's base, but I think I'll keep him based singularly now.

Love the idea and the execution

Thanks. Have started to paint, so this might be the last photo for a while (depending if I think I can get the tower done in time).

Bits held together with Blu-Tack as it'll be easier to paint in parts.

The rocket will be sperate, and I'll glue a rare-earth magnet to it so I can alternatively attach to a flight stand.

Love it!

Fantastic!!

That is awesome!

No straps to hold Tromper to his ride? Wouldn't want flat ham after he fell off, would we?

McMordain · « **Reply #40 on:** January 26, 2017, 01:05:53 AM »

This looks great. The pig looks like he will enjoy the flight at least, if not the end...

Yeah, I'm going to add some pegs (like on a motorcycle) for each trotter.

Ridiculously nice. At least there is a good chance there will be some bacon along the way.

That is so cool! I love the competition going on here.

Great.

Every time I see images of your progress it makes me smile. Thank you.
