[MINI] Airplane

[veryhappy]

This is my entry for the mini contest.

The main function of this model is given by the two manual operated helices. It has an openable cabin too.

I have modeled it on LDD and it uses 200 pieces that mostly came from a 9394 set with a few from 42006, 42022 and 42020.

This is a LDD screenshot so you can see how it looks

And this is the LDD file https://dl.dropboxus...chnic/Plane.lxf

Following these links you will find some more photos of the real thing (sorry for the quality of them):

I hope you like it

PD: I know it has some oddities like the steering wheel (the sports one should look _much_ better ) or the colors of some pieces but, unfortunately, this is the model I'm able to construct

Wow nice job! It looks like you spent a lot of time on this! Keep up the good work!

Just one thing, you need a photo of all the pieces laid out together.

Thanks for the comment

To take better photo's take a look at Sariel's excellent tutorial - http://sariel.pl/201...ssing-tutorial/

Good photo's make models stand out a lot better, which this model should be

Thanks for the advice. I will take new photos and try to enhace them following that tutorial .

Anyway I have noticed that the model I built had two spurious pin and half pieces (part #32002) left from previous tries so I will have to take the pieces photo again .

Instead of replacing the old photos I will ad links to the new ones as soon as I have finished them.

I'd managed to take a "good" photo and made it clear

And in bigger resolution in https://dl.dropboxus...ne modified.jpg

This is a photo with the correct pieces:
