Chris VandegriftToday i ordered simulated campfire led's to light the engines with. It's 3 colors that flicker. From Evans Designs. Ordered some straight red ones too just in case the campfire idea is a bomb lol

Boris BI love the idea too !
What's the target mission for that sea-parting blackbird, btw ?

Chris VandegriftChasing the Lightning Boris! That'll be obvious when I show the final piece 🙂

Gary KitchenWow,wow,wow! Surely you've got to find a way to name the Blackbird Moses.

Chris VandegriftYou guys are great! Working hard to keep the level of execution high.
Hey, the frogs are giving me trouble. I'm looking for some that are really small, maybe 10x15mm in length. If anyone has a link to something let me know

Alexander GrivonevExcellent. Forget the Blackbird, now you need figurines of Moses and some Israelites in 1:72

Konrad -What a spectacular build Chris! The surface of the blackbird looks very nice!
Looking forward to seeing this one in action 😎

Guess you will have to go for 3D printing. PLenty of free 3d frog models in the web and scaling should be no issue; resolution could be...

Gary KitchenV. excited that this one is coming around again. 👍 looking great Chris

Chris VandegriftMany many thanks how much interest this has generated. It sure is a blast to build. I'm working on the spyplane now and I found a site with all of the tail graphics. So now my Dio has a name Snoopy versus the red sea.

Łukasz GlińskiSeems like you inspired some French folks, check out the logo 😉

Gary KitchenIn the previous shots I hadn't appreciated the narrowing of the tunnel for perspective. Masterful stuff. 👍

bughunterGreat work 👍 but: Sorry, the water display, red sand and SR-71 inside are fantastic, but I d not like the frogs (only my personal impression).

DutchAbsolutely brilliant! The only way to improve it would have been to use an SM-62 Snark missile instead! 😉

Chris VandegriftBughunter, i can appreciate that 🙂 I will say if they weren't a requirement they wouldn't be there but then we would lose the concept. hopefully people find the poses and some of the ones i hid funny 😄

Chris VandegriftHey Guys this ones DONE! Posting up my favorites of the finished pics now. Glad all of you followed along and added comments. This was a crazy one for sure. I've decided to take it out to the IPMS NATS this month. At the very least i think alot of people will enjoy seeing it!

Marcin SnakowskiUnusual idea. However, I have a question - what causes the tunnel formation in front of the plane?
10 July 2022, 21:54
Gary KitchenI'm going with divine intervention , or magic? Whatever flavour you prefer 😄
10 July 2022, 22:20
Ben MarshallI said it before but I'll say it again.. this is mad! Bonkers! But completely briliiant! Absolutely top notch, I love it!

Chris VandegriftHey Marcin thanks for stoppin in and checking out the build 🙂 The narrowing of the waves is meant to give the impression of a great distance. Like looking down a very straight road toward the horizon. The road appears to narrow all the way to a point if you can see a long way off.

Chris VandegriftBen thanks a bunch! Glad you thought it was worth checking out for sure 🙂

Chris VandegriftNorK I don't think i ever said thanks for the 3d printing idea! Turns out just a couple weeks later we got a printer at work and I didn't have to find someone to print it. Pulled this whole build together. Thanks man!
11 July 2022, 04:29
Marcin SnakowskiDivine intervention, magic or alien technology... Never mind. 😄 😄
It looks insane. I love these frogs!
11 July 2022, 10:42
Robin (WhiteGlint)Pretty crazy! This will surely turn some heads. 👍
Impressive work.

Album info
So the group build is set up like one of those cooking shows, you have 3 ingredients that you MUST use in the construction of your build. They are the color red, frogs, and sand. I've been doing a lot of water bases lately so my wife suggested parting the Red Sea and have frogs jumping out of the curling wave. Liked the idea and I said well let me look at my stash and see what I have for a plane to part the Red Sea. What better plane to part the sea than a SR 71 blackbird!
