Ok, most who know me also know I have been working on dozens of study models for the past 3 or so years. The following is one that has gotten some good reviews as it looks now {UN-Finished} - so I decided I wanted some FFN Input!

So here are a few pics of the ICV* Agro*;CCN* 1313-H* DragonFly Class

Yes, it is neon orange - for now ... and yes there IS a reason ... bwhahaha ... think 'submarine' and Cary Grant...

AND it lacks the engines and wings - 4 of 'em.

ALSO: It should evoke a memory of another ship ...

ANYHOO PICS!!!

Look deep into my eyes...

Aft View ... of course.

Detail of the 'Rail Engine'

Underside of the 'neck'

Port Side

Aft and Slightly Dorsal

Bottom!

Engine/Wing Detail One

Engine/Wing Detail 2

OK, there iz something to yap about - 'member : T'aint finished ... but poke away and ask any questions...

*IVC=Impendent Vessel-Cargo
Agro=Australian slang for aggressively angry
CCN=Construction Contract Number
H=Heavy

Thanks!

I know I have heard of several 'Dragonfly' ship class names.

Yep - an undercoat for now. The movie I was referring the paint-job to is "Operation Petticoat" - where a WW 2 sub gets un-intentally painted PINK after it gets a lost group of WACs to their all male crew.

Anyhoo, new PICS after some more tinkering!

Looks good.

Though it seems DragonFly is a popular class name:

Mate, I think we need to talk - gimme an email if you are interested! CapnRahn@aol.com

BTW - Your CG Dragonfly is Excellent! Got any more pics?

I need to find some of my prelim drawings {I don't got the hang of doing CG, even tho I wish I did!} to show you the similarities in original 'buggy' dragonfly. This one {above and below} goes more with my Wood Dragon Chinese astrology bit. So thus a 'different' Dragon-Fly - more in the Vermithrax mode... {OK, do YOU know who Vermithrax is? Anybody?}

NOW- PICS...

New bridge - sharpies are nice for quick changing the paint job... riiiiight.

Those are not cannons - thrusters!

Engines and wings - yep 4 of 'em!

More 'booster' thruster detail

Thanks, I'm working on some modeling embellishments (airlocks, RCS thrusters, radiators, solar panels that sort of thing) and some texturing, hoping to get a lot done this weekend. I'll try and upload some more pics after that.

It's looking really good, and I think both can coexist. Mine was originally a millitary craft designed for duties similar to the Chinook (transport/logistics) but with a touch of the Huey's uses in Vietnam (same but with some gunship thrown in too), your's seems more of a civilian craft, so I think they can coexist quite happilly
