Thanks! If I ever find some time to do it, another large plane will be seen soon... SPOILER ALERT! A KC-135.

Hi Bill! Thank you for commenting on my first year. I think you have plenty to proud of, the B-36 is indeed very good, with more than fifty likes. Somehow I missed commenting on it, but I think the overall shape is really good, and the size is most impressive.

Only 42 so not so good

thanks! that it great! out of how many entries? i'm pretty sure there were a lot.

Hey congrats on 50 likes! I got 15th place in the figure contest.

I heartily agree with you on this plane. I really didn't intend for it to be built, but before I knew it I had constructed a large pair of wings and I thought "hey why dont i make a B-36?" and so I did. I didn't have much tome to make it, however, so this one didn't have a very good nose, no three bladed props, and no jet pods. Thanks!

Good work. I especially like the propellors. I think the nose could have used some work, but since this has long been deconstructed there's not much to do about it now I suppose. Maybe something to consider for future builds. Overall though, great work. Keep it up!

Onc3 in a while? Try "all the time"!

Once in a while I have a good idea!

That sounds excellent! Plus with a 707 airframe I can modfiry it into the AWACS, tanker, cargo carrier, and ASW version.

How about either the AWACS or the refueling tanker

Lemme hear your thoughts for the next big plane: 707 or A340 or 787?

know of any other good contests?

Bummer ,Thanks man! I'm going to need it

Dang! I can't make it. I don't have any pieces (plus im in bed on my ipod). Sorry. Maybe next time. But good luck on your Boba Fett!

Dude you have 1 hour and 50 minutes . 11:59 pm mocpages time. Get cracking !

Yes I did! When is the stuff due?

I see you just joined the 100 piece figure contest awesome!

My next big plane project (after a few little ones): perhaps a massive RC B-29? Two motors. One powers two engines and the wheels (which are fixed in the down position) and I may give it a detailed interior, with the cabins and everything.

Thank you!

Backdrop? How about a grassy field? Camera? Check. Got one for my b-day a few weeks ago. I took pics of my Mustang and Bf-109 with it. Unfortunatly, this model is no longer in existance (there's a picture of my destroying it)

Great job! The engines at the back of the wings is a great idea and makes this plane very special! 8-) 5/5

Great stuff! May I suggest a backdrop, and maybe save up for a better camera? But this deserves 50+ likes.

No, I only post final products. I believe that a WIP gives you an idea of what the thing will look like before it is finished. I may put wip pics on the final page. But when I get many of my parts back I will finish up the Stuka and perhaps make it an enemy plane... Like a Hurricane...

Are you going to post a Wip ? As for the cockpit check out this piece in dark bluish grey it's my favorite part and I've been slowly retrofitting some of my aircraft withe them. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3069bpb035.

Now that's really awesome! I wish I could ride on a B-17 (but I'll bet that he probably got tired of the cramped cabin of that thing). I may have told you, but my uncle was the copilot? of a B-24 Liberator in WWII. He was shot down twice, and survived both times.

Speaking of B-17s my father was a radar operator on a modified B-17 in the U.S. Navy in 1952. It was the forerunner to AWACS.

Thanks! Due to my limited supply on sloped parts, I had to make do with standard bricks. I think it turned out well. The nose was the hardest part.

Very great stuff! The size alone is impressive! Nice!

The B-26 was a similar plane and those used to be "widowmakers" but they became the most reliable planes of the war. There is a B-25, B-24 and B-17 coming near my town soon, I may check those out.

Yes once the worked all the bugs out of them they where pretty sweet . The B-25 was pretty sweet to I got to climb through one at an air show once talk about claustrophobic. :-) I'm glad I was able to help!

Thanks again! Oh, and one more thing: I think I am going to make a Douglas A-20 next (although I will be on vacation for the next 2 weeks). I just learned of those and they are really cool looking because they combine things found in both WWII fighters and bombers.

Hey it worked ! I liked your 15 piece Moc and those all came back

Wow, that was fast. Thanks! And now all of my likes are back!

This is huge!

Thank you! Getting the nose right was difficult.

Woah, this is seriously awesome! Quite an impressive size and great shaping as well!

That's actually one of the better corsairs I've seen. As for your other stuff there, it's pretty good! The tomcat is wonderful! you should definatly upload that! Same thing for the trains and the batboat.

Here is my Corsair I made years ago try not to laugh to hard. If your interested you can hit the up button and see some more of my older posts. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=138855

I'll take some pics of the 262 and upload them to my brickshelf account . But it might be a few days before they upload them.

It is quite impressive. Ingenius cockpit design.

Here's a really cool stuka http://mocpages.com/moc.php/228320

Do you have an e-mail account we can use? I'll send you pics of the one I built 14 years ago. I'll also send pics of my 262 I made 13 years ago.

and around it!

Are you putting figs in it?

Check this out! The Skyraider it's always been a favorite of mine as it highly influenced another of my all time favorites the A-10 thunderbolt. The Skyraider has 7 hard points under each wing you could hang bombs ,drop tanks, rockets . I think this aircraft would really showcase your skills! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-1_Skyraider

My grandfather was the gunner in front of the vertical tailplane. He said those engines were loud once they got up to full throttle, and did not help much when he needed sleep, because of the standby marathon flights for nuclear retaliation, which can last up to ten hours.

Thank you! I either had to go for details or size, so I decided to go for size. Even so, I did try to add some details such as the tail gun, some undercarraige struts, and I did try to make the bombardier window look realistic... enough. Thanks again!

Nice! The tiny one was awesome, this one is even awesomer! The scale is indeed quite big, it might lack details for such a scale but still amazing!

Thank you! I normally build unusual planes. Other examples include my F-102 and Ta 183, as well as my he 162 and variants.

Thanks a lot!

An unusual choice, a brave scale and well executed. Great build.

Wow I really like it! Well done Bill!

Wow! That's cool that your grandfather flew in these bad boys. What crew member was he? I am going to upgrade it later with a bomb bay and the jets, amd perhaps mod the engines and cockpit a bit. 6 turning and 4 burning was commonly used, but normaly the planes acted more like this: 'two turning, two burning, two joking, and two smoking, with two engines not accounted for'

My grandfather flew one of these. It had jets on the aircraft. "Six turning and four burning" were often heard around these bombers.

Thanks! the b-36 and yb-60 were quite large, but the largest plane ever is the An-225. Largest flying thing ever was the Hindenburg. However the B-36 was the largest FIGHTING warplane (wingspan of 230 feet)

It's one of the largest aircraft ever made. It's twin sister, the B-60, is.

Oh don't worry when I get the chance to modify it I will! Thank you!

Oh wow, the B-36. Now that's a classic! Excellent work. I would love to see your take on this aircraft after they added the jet engines to assist the propeller driven engines.

Nice job! Pusher-prop aircraft are just inherently cooler.

Thank you, but I do think that tractor aircraft are better. But that's just an opinion.

Thank you very much sir!

Great job! A very huge creation!

Thanks! My largest creaton yet!

Massive! Nice work!

Thank you! it isn't quite minifig size, but that is because I was running out of parts.

Impressive achievement! Very large model. I like the proportions.

Thank you so much! Your B-36 also has some nice details.I think that your B-36's nose turned out much better than mine. yours also appears to have a skinnier fuselage ( a good thing). Thanks again!

Thank you guys so much for your wonderful comments! It means a lot to me to have all this nice stuff said about my creations.

Is it pretty big?

Awesome!

This is great, superb work!

amazing job man ..I really like it ...with some excellent details like landing gear or the plates in the sides to give round shape...etc very good ideas ..well done!!! .. here is my B-36 in 1:44 scale build before 3 years http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/315749

I saw this at the USAF Museum.

man, what a huge thing. Awesome

Good job, it is always nice to see big airplane creations!

Awesome! Nice work on the shape and engines :-)

Its so big! Great job!!

Awesome!

I have heard of it, I just have never gotten around to buying parts. I also don't have the money for them either (but I am saving up for some new bricks for a follow-up on the B-36...)

Have you ever herd of www.bricklink.com if not check it out . You can buy just the parts you need new or used.

Thank you so much! I almost ran out of parts! Getting the shape right was a challenge in some places, but for the most part it worked out nicely. Thanks again!

There it is! Wow that's huge! I love all those engines. Awesome work on the fuselage and the main landing gear. They look good and beefy to support there weight. Nice shaping of the tail, those tails always give me a fit trying to get the shape right. Excellent Work!
