MOC: Technic B-25 Mitchell WIP Part 13

As I haven't posted pictures of the actual model for a while I thought I'd do just that and show you what it's looking like now. I've built a possible design for the tail turrets canopy but I'm not 100% sure on how it looks at the moment but it's a start at least.

And a picture of the overall progress I've made with it.

I've been working on the engine design a bit more over the past few days and something I noticed was that the design I made before had 8 cylinders however the actual radial engine in the B-25 is a 14 cylinder twin row radial engine so there should actually be 7 cylinders at the front. I had to think about it for a while but I've come up with a possible design for 7 cylinders. I'm thinking this is going to be more or less the final design for the engines as I've got the look somewhere around where I want it and it lets the axle spin freely. What do you all think?

MOC: Nebulon-B Frigate in LDD WIP part 8

I've done a bit more work on my Nebulon B Frigate over the past week and what I've been focusing on this time is the colours. I've done a test render in pov-ray to see what the colours are going to look like when I do the final renders as the colours are a bit different in LDD to LDView/Pov-ray as you can see in these two pictures. What do you think?

Another quick update today on the engine design of my B-25 project. I managed to come up with a possible design for the radial engines in the B-25 in LDD. What do you all think?

A bit of a different update today as I haven't got much progress done on the actual model however I have been trying to come up with a good design for the front of the engines. I've made this in LDD as I don't really have the pieces to make it on the actual model and I'm just trying to come up with ideas at the moment.

I think it looks better than it looks now but I kinda want a design for a radial engine to go in the front however I haven't though of one yet. But anyway that's all for this time.

Another update on my Nebulon B Frigate today. I've done quite a bit of work on the rear engine section to make the shape of it look a bit closer to the actual thing although I have messed up the internal structure a bit but oh well, I'l fix that at some point.

Still a bit more internal work to be done as well as external details but thats all for now. Till next time.

Just a very quick update today as I haven't gotten that much done over the past week.

The main thing that I focused on this time was the front section. I've built the preliminary design of the cockpit canopy and nose canopy and although there is still a few bits to be added I think it make the nose section look much better.

And that's everything, Yep told you it would be quick. Anyway, Till next time.

Been working on the Nebulon-B Frigate over the week end so I thought I'd post a update.

First thing I did was work on the plates on the front section quite a bit so they look a bit more like the actual thing. I've also increased the strength of the center section by adding a second row of beams under the original row. These two main beams almost run straight through the entire length of the model so it should be much stronger now.

And thats it. Till the next update.

I've got some more work done on my B-25 over the past week so I thought I'd post an update to tell you all what I've done.

I've improved the tail section a bit by adding beams going straight up the under side of the fuselage as well as building a bit more of the tail it's self.

I've also built a preliminary design for the tail gun.

Another thing I did was put in the battery box and IR receiver where they will go. I'm not 100% happy about how far the battery box sticks out the top but I'm not sure how to solve that one yet.

And thats it for this update, Till next time.
