Just wanted to say if anyone wants to model the any of the Sky Crawler aircraft id be more than willing to normal map/HD paint them,im sure i could talk a few more Ozx painters into helpping out also

btw I've had the model kit of the F2B Sanka Mk.B for over a year now (havent had chance to start it yet),so if the instruction/paint key could be of use it modeling please just ask and i'll get them scanned up

Could you do it for CFS 3?
It strikes me that with the aircraft available it wouldn`t be too hard to create a decent dynamic campaign for this game.
You wouldn`t even have to change the basic map.

there is a very very nice Concept Art book but i havent found anywhere thats importing it to the UK at anything less than silly money seems its hard to find now as it was a limited run :(

heres a few pics and some info from the book

http://halcyonrealms.com/animation/the-concept-art-of-the-sky-crawlers/

With that book as ref a good modeling and paint team could kick up something thats 99.9% as close to the CGI in the orginal flim i bet

Thanks Gizmo. I just found that post@Halcyon while searching for the book, right before you posted it. It's only $35.00 USD. I'll have to see what the shipping costs are, as I have a birthday this month.:ernae:

Thanks for the blueprint links.
 
Looking at the blueprints and comparing it with the pic I think the Skyly would be an absolute pig to maneuver on the ground, you would have absolutely no forward vision whatsoever.
It`s even worse than some period `real world` taildraggers like late model Spitfires.
Perhaps that explains why in the `Sky Crawlers` world they went over to canard designs with tricycle U/C`s?
The game, which is set some years earlier has a number of taildraggers but they all appear to be older designs that were most likely obsolete by the time-period of the Film.</EMBED>

Thanks Gizmo for posting those pic links. Awesome stuff there. Man it would be sweet to make some of those. I need that book badly, lol... I want that flying wing!

SunDog, where did you find the book at? They do not carry it yet at Amazon.com.
