34

Build : 31/5 2003, Pieces: 120, Steps: 23

Inspiration

Because of my limited supply of grey platewings, I continued the experiments using regular plates instead.

Aesthetically, the fanlike spread of the wings was primarily inspired on the feathers of heraldic birds.

Technique:

The green windshield and mounting of the nose and wings is pretty much a copy of my model 25 Stealthy, while I used a more ad-hoc approach for the wings on this one (compared to the spinly 1xn plates on the Spiderweb and more solid hypotech on the 25 Stealthy): Most of the wings are either kept in place by simple stud friction, or secured by 1½x4 offset plates placed by trial and error.
