Ya know... now ya have to get an airplane. One of the Can-Am boys has a Stuka that looks cool.

RE: Control Tower

RE: Control Tower

RE: Control Tower

Never under estimate the power of the Pan-Tiger, Greg!http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../omg_smile.gif

Brushie...

He only had to hit the lower part, and push... to topple it over. Thats unless you're gonna cheat and put grounding spikes on the tower feet to keep her from 'blowing' over in a stiff breeze.

You gonna make a weather sock too?

RE: Control Tower
 

I thought I saw some hangars in the pics from the last meet... did someone already make them? If thats the case Im not doing it

RE: Control Tower

RE: Control Tower
 

ok brought in the main building and added a control panel inside the control tower plus a L.E.D. light and switch on the roof switch and batteries are located under the rood section inside, still lots to do have to do the trim around the windows / put more windowns i have the staircase to finish thats the first section on the side at the bottom and door ways........Hmmmm staircase, that might be a way for Captain Actions PanTiger to get to the topof the roof to knock down my tower...lol

RE: Control Tower

RE: Control Tower
 

Don't forget the obligatory bombing bunkers/fall-out shelters... and the sandbagged triple-A bunkers (watch 633 Squadron & others...)

RE: Control Tower
 

I have the 88mm Flak for the airfield. I was thinking of making a bunker like this one for it:

RE: Control Tower
 

Thanks Karel

thanks everyone

RE: Control Tower
 

The airfield is going to look sweet :-)

RE: Control Tower
 

worked on it a bit more tonight added the overhang platform, i decided not to go with a second set of stairs had an old toy firetruck ladder and put that on.
some trim to the front windows, added some fake brick with paint to simulate the stucco knocked off and my roof covering is garden fabric, lots more to do

RE: Control Tower
 

Tim:

I really gotta laugh, 'cause that 88 dio showed summat I've considered for a while, and that someone else used it in a really good scene makes me believe I was right: metal sewing machine bobbins (thread reels) make really good cable reel drums. See the 'black wire/hose' in the forground outside the emplacement proper? Those are sewing machine bobbins. You can get 'em in the Dollar Store, varies between 4-6 for no more than a Twonie. And if you make a stand, you can actually have the cable come off the reel... like the detonator wires on the reels for demo units/engineering squads.

As I'm always saying... look at something not as it ~is~, but what it ~could~ be. Do so and your path to " Thinking Outside The Box " has taken a considerable step forward.

- off to ~finally~ secure his gun-switches in his Tx casings...

PS: anyone ever find the ptroper contacts for the switches on the 6YG Tx's? The normal place like on the 4's does NOT work, and the usual tutorial page is NO help, its ancient and hasn't been updated in ages.
