What does a metre long piece of 150mm, plastic ducting have in common with a platoon of Grymn troops?
What makes the space shuttle and a C17 Globemaster the same...but different?
How many 'D' rings does it take to allow enough points to tie something down without affecting the integrity of a floor?
I guess that I have been re-visiting my original theories on drop-ship design and I have been taking a close look at various big lift aircraft and the good old Space Shuttle for ideas. It seems that all the angles that I had planned have lost their appeal and in a fit of insanity, I have decided that a tube will make a good base for my design.
I will have to adapt a few things (like adding panels to widen the tube...yes...WIDEN it!) but I reckon when I'm done, the drop-ship will be about 2 foot long with a similar wingspan.
It will have two decks with the bottom one being for cargo/APC transport and the upper one for troop transportation.
I haven't started buying anything YET...but the itch is really getting annoying lately...
AND on a different note, I have written a short story! Here is the link: LINK
...oh...and I couldn't resist buying the decal set that has my 'Splat' artwork in it...I'll share when it gets here.
See you from the drawing board!
