WARBIRDS ON MINIFIG-SCALE


I was always fascinated by airplanes and especially by fighters from the second Worldwar.
since I was a child I tried to re-create these machines in LEGO.
The more ambitious projects always came to a standstill because I ran out of bricks.
Fortunately, about a year ago I discovered the wonderfull program LDRAW so This was
no longer a problem.

And here the are: as accurate as possible minifig-scale versions of classic fighter planes!

To design them I use original 3-view drawings en technical data (measurements) from sources 
as 'Jane's All the World's fighter aircraft' and Airplane! magazine.
I recalculate the original measurements using the good old "3 studs = 1 metre" rule
(for the Anglo-saxons that is "1 stud = +/- 1 feet")

I use the Leocad-shell program to build them and because I do not master the art of rendering (yet)
the pics are just screenshots.

Tell me what you think!
If you want tot recreate the models in 'real' bricks, go ahead but let me know!
