What to build? and what i'm building atm.

43.9k PlanesOfOld  6.4 years ago

I need something simple to build (ideally a replica of a pre 1970 plane) that I can make as 'filler' so people don't have to wait a few months between my uploads. I've thought about doing some fictional designs based on historical requirements, and also thought of doing a water speed record challenge and making another boat. not really sure what to do though. Id also like to do some of those crazy late WWII German designs.

But really I need to know what I should finish as I have many WIP projects so I shall list them here:

Bristol scout (finished)

Bachem natter (rockets and basic fuselage built)

RAF FE1 (Finished)

Sopwith Tabloid (Basic frame is there, this is part of my WWI series)

RAF SE4a ( fuselage and wings (almost done), WWI series)

Sopwith Triplane (only have the engine cowling and two cockpit dials and it has almost 1000 parts)

Comper Swift (not started)

Percival Mew Gull (not started)

De Havilland TK4 (finished)

KV-2 (gun mantlet and gun has been made, I plan to give it an interior)

Napier Heston Type 5 (fuselage complete, no details)

Me163 (fuselage and vertical stabilizer complete)

Ki84 (basic fuselage complete)

Hawker sea fury (not started)

Ki100 (not started)

Miles m77 sparrowjet (not started)

Sommers kendall sk1 (finished)

Avro Vulcan (not really started but I have mapped everything out and have the engines)

Gloster VI (not started but its my favorite plane)

Hawker Tempest V (started a few years ago but I found iyt on my Ipad and am planning to 'modernise' it and finally complete it)

De Havilland sea vixen (I believe that I started this plane in early 2016, I haven't uploaded it because I haven't been able to make it look 'right')

What out of all of these would you like to see? what one should I finish first. I want to get these unfinish projects out of my head!

I also have The bomb project: 1:1 scale replicas of various bomb designs for future builds. I plan to upload them for you guys to use in your builds. If you have any requests I will add them to the collection.

Basically I don't know what to do because it feels like I have too many things to do... So yeah. Id love a little help deciding what plane to finish first.

    @Fjorge I am building up a backlog of various planes, ive started most on this list and finished one today, hopefully by the end of my toil I will have enough planes for a month so whilst I upload these I will build more for the next month, and so on. its how I did things ages and ages ago.
    I personally blame warthunder and skyrim for my inactivity!

    @PlanesOfOld For rockets, rather than using a missile in a box, I will just use a jet engine (generally one that is modded to be very small) and a very small amount of fuel for realistic range. With the sizeable inlets you can make the inlets so small as to be almost invisible.

    I agree, I hope I can get a rocket engine working though, so far I haven't been able to completely trap a missile in a box... @MrDoolittle
