The thin line between Genius and Insanity was not only crossed but they paid the toll to go down the insane highway doing 90-nothing.

A few questions:   1) The shear size would not make it practical for desert warfare?
                         
                          2) How are they going to stabilize the water while traveling?

                          3) If they are trying for stealth, somebody for to tell them , I bet it would be noisy and could be seen and heard from miles away

                          4) Where is the attachment for the bulls eye target, if they do hit it they win the steak dinner or a Kewpie doll ?

Well going in a straight line shouldn't be too much of a problem, its just stopping, starting, turning, going uphill and going downhill that's a problem :D

Another queston - Waht are the poor bloody sharks going to eat? It seems that they are they only fish in the water. Or is it a case of some unfortunate mechanic who happens to fall in while servicing a plane?

That's been posted here before, I'm sure.  I've always liked the shark addition.

Maybe not here, but I have seen it before... Dark Roasted Blend perhaps?
There was an article on there recently about insane transportation art, incluidng the infamous Super Tanker Chopper (as in harley chopper, but made out of a super tanker and cruising the desert), but I don't think it was in that one.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

The artist was drinking the paint thinner & brush cleaner, and me thinks he going insane and not blind. No thanks about the pint ,that rot gut will kill you.

One last question. how do the planes get to the maintenance area with out getting severely wet or drowning the lower decks.

Yes I thought somebody, maybe even me, had posted a link to a page of the guy's art, but I can't find it on a search..... :unsure:

Seen it before but I like it!

Those fighters at the front make me want to go out and buy a couple of cheap L-39 Albatros kits and see what can be done.

Instead of having elevators, it should have a system like lock gates on a canal: you taxi the plane into the "elevator pond", shut the gates, and then pump the water out to get it down to hangar level..... ;D
