B29 TIE FIGHTER

[SCRATCH BUILDER]

So i have person over at the Art Station web site and they do some pretty cool drawings and he had one of a B29 Tie Fighter and thought it would be cool to do this in 3D.

So here is the 3D work and now I am of to the printers!, I do have the engines for a B24 kit i hope to use.

Interesting!  Have never really seen anything like that before. Just off the top, I might say it may look more balanced if the cockpit pod was moved back just a tad instead of so far forward.  It will be VERY unique when done!

Very unique!

Thought i would add the image i am working from.

Given almost no lifting surfaces, it must use anti-gravity for lift... or maybe Edgar Rice Burrough's liftwood or unicorn droppings?

 

No matter what, this is almost as cool as I can imagine, rivaled only by the Westland Hill Pterodactyl.

A bit of an update, I have about 95% of the items printed, just some small bits to do, at the moment my brain is fighting with my attention span on weather or not to do a cockpit, for now i am set on printing my bucks and pulling some clear plastic for the windows. Almost forgot, I know i should have a 4 prop blade but i had an old 1/48 B24 sitting around so I'm using that.

Hey Rick... any updates on this?   Amazing attention to detail.

 

I'm designing a model rocket of this same design.  Any chance you'll be selling any of the printed parts?

I will get that worked out, i have an idea which i think will look cool, remember this is just for fun!, Besides it only took me a day to design it all up and after printing i may have to re-think a few things, plus i think i will scale this down 50% (wife says where the hell are going to put that)
