I am weak willed and easily persuaded to do stuff....... Apparently.....

soooo.... having shown off pictures of my landing pads construction over my last couple of posts..... some people, who I shall not name to protect the blatantly guilty, convinced me i should make one big enough for the Blunderhawk to land on....... 2 nightshifts at work with no internet access later and I have run out of plastic....... but I did get some initial progress done... 

first up.... the Blunderhawk project continues to get tinkered with... I have found a couple of Lascannon-ish guns in my bits box... and made the basic shape of the support winglets...

 a little bit of work still to do on these to make the hingle looking end.. but you can see where I am going with them....

also added the tail and front winglets to the main bulk of the craft....

and then I started on the new landing pad XL... I started by drawing the basic shape I wanted onto a sheet of 3mm foamed pvc...

and then sat a blunderhawk on it to check it fits.....

and then I cut two corners off to allow for 2 roughly 150mm wide ramps and then the third corner of the triangle got removed to make room for a hexagonal support for the watch-tower/lighting-tower I plan on adding.....

so as it stands the outer wall will be 75mm high giving a 20mm high parapet on all sides, not sure how high the tower might be... but its all on hold till I get more foamed pvc....

well I hope those of you responsible are happy with what you have made me do.......

and that the rest of you enjoy reading about my latest hobby exploits.....

as always comments are most welcome...
