Maddog Manufacturing 2020 Production
Re: Maddog Manufacturing 2020 Production
You, good Sir, are an amazing model maker. Fun to watch. Entertaining subjects, witty repartee, great snacks...okay you snack are iffy.

Re: Maddog Manufacturing 2020 Production
Lyle, thank you ever so much! It's nice to know my efforts to make this readable are working. You're right though; I do need to have a chat with my snack vendor....
Thank you Stuart! Just trying to keep the momentum going. You are right about the An-124; it already is a beast! The fuselage alone measures 35 inches without the nose piece you see. In the Queen's Metric, that translates to 88.9 centimeters. add the nose and we're at about 40 inches/101.6 centimeters.
I'm hoping that soon we can have a Hobby Day so I can assemble that whole thing all at once over there. Until then, I'll continue to paint and detail the sub-assemblies and attach them to this plane as best I can.
Thanks again guys for the awesome comments!

Re: Maddog Manufacturing 2020 Production
Yep! Over a meter long! I am hoping that Hobby Days start up soon again so I can take this in and assemble the wings and tail on the fuselage. I'm not sure I have the room in my crowded Hobby Room!

Can you rent the Rose Bowl to assemble it?

Re: Maddog Manufacturing 2020 Production
Maybe before all this close-down crap happened; right now with my lack of work I can't afford it. Then again, even if I did, the take-off run would be too short to get this out of there!
