Alright.

Me, RMS Gigantic and a few more friends are building an Antonov An-225. We haven't gotten far because we only started yesterday but we are moving along! We finished the landing gear, the engines and the Lay out of the plane. We haven't gotten far, but we will get there.

First we have how tall the plane should be when where finished and then we have the landing gear. I will post more pictures later!
So lets get some pictures out here

The wheels look good...

Thanks. I'm working on getting RMS Gigantic to the server. Its up currently, if you want to see what we have in person. Anyway here is a picture of the engine casing.

The Blue and Red things are markers so are the Gray things.

It seems we have a premature topic posting....

Anyway, I am good with scales, etc. but I am not that good at designing curves or imprecise paint schemes, so if someone wants to assist in those fields... let's just say you will not be in short supply of work....

Our conflicts have been resolved and we have made progress!

An overall picture to start you out:

Along with some new detail to the landing gear, you can also see that there are red markings down the length of the plane, with some odd structures at some of their locations. These markings correspond to frames in a blueprint I found online, and the odd shapes mark key spots in cross sections provided for those frames. The partially built cross sections to the right of the aircraft are nowhere NEAR final, so do not panic that the plane might turn out looking like that.

A closer look at the frame markings:

Furthermore, Alcatraz has provided us with some potential cargo built by TheArmyGuy. Measuring the cargo hold dimensions, the plane can likely hold up to two of these helicopters, once the rotor is removed and packed separately:

Bump?

You started a topic with close to nothing to look at. That's why.

Northmoor · June 19, 2011, 03:30:25 AM

Lol, well here's something. Thanks to MattyBoy and the hole team we have progress.

It's looking nice right now.

Can't wait till it's done.

I wonder how this make Jacky feel... :D

naruto2600 · June 19, 2011, 10:25:14 PM

Now there's nothing there again.

Northmoor · June 20, 2011, 11:17:32 PM

Well here is the New front. Mattyboy has left the project but we have gained a great builder Nasaboy300 and we will continue no matter who we gain nor who we lose.

RMS was going to make a whole new topic but bumping this is fine too.
He got some better angles of the new nose I built. The nose took about 2 hours to re-measure with RMS and then to build what you see.

RMS Gigantic · June 20, 2011, 11:40:45 PM

Better angles are here.

Arial view of the progress:

Bystander view:

An engine NasaBoy built (along with the above curves); it will be elongated tomorrow:

Looks to have more potential than a new Fable game, but keep in mind that Peter Molyneux promises the earth and often fails to deliver. I trust you will not pull a Peter Molyneux.
