  1. Consolidated B-24 Liberator I've known for many years that my Uncle SSgt Lee G. Castille was a casualty of WWII but never knew how he died. Thanks to some help from a kind fellow Kerbonaut @EVA_Reentry sharing his research expertise with me I've gained some details about this incident. He was a crew member of a Consolidated B-24 Liberator. After discovering this it compelled me to build one. I would also like to mention a New Stock Propeller Design, I'm using the Small Nose Cone and the Communotron DTS-M1. Note: I liked the idea of the Old Movie look on the video and also liked the original look so I decided to create both videos.

  2. Rail Car System Update: 02.06.17 At the moment I am still testing the Rail Car on the tracks. I have the Depot working (Travel to a location, able to enter and exit) Straight Track and Curved Track Assemblies connecting with each other. If you follow my work you know I have a few projects going on and the reason is from burn outs of working on the same project for an extended period of time. I do plan to complete them.
  3. Thank you! Just added bombs and did a few drops at the airbase, the bombs at the moment are getting a little damaged. I love the idea that the little Sepratron Rockets have adjustable fuel & oxidizer, I am able to tweak them for ejection of the bombs.
  4. Definitely a spectacular display of some incredible work, thumbs up and hats off to these man!! too cool
  5. Consolidated B-24 Liberator I've known for many years that my Uncle SSgt Lee G. Castille was a casualty of WWII but never knew how he died. Thanks to some help from a kind fellow Kerbonaut @EVA_Reentry sharing his research expertise with me I've gained some details about this incident. He was a crew member of a Consolidated B-24 Liberator. After discovering this it compelled me to build one in KSP. So far it's coming along great except the front landing gear, I would love to use the large Rover Wheel because it looks nice but at the moment I can't get it to retract and extend it will look nice if I could, I hope to figure something out. Also if the fuselage could narrow less abruptly it would look a little better and the cockpit still needs some tweaking. I would also like to mention a New Stock Propeller Design, not sure if this one has ever been designed before? New Stock Prop
  6. After flying this Tiny Coaxial Turbocopter built by @klond I realized how steady it handled and thought about making an attempt to land it on a Boat (Rage Runner). This was some extremely intense landings and also so much fun. I hope you enjoy the video.
  7. @Flixxbeatz he started all this, maybe he's next?
  8. Wow! Thank you @sal_vager And a big thanks to all of you Kerbonaut friends for the all the likes and comments!
  9. @EVA_Reentry What's the latest on this, were you able to research this any further?
  10. Right now it's not bad, but after adding about twenty sections or so like I plan to I'm sure it might. But the reentry could kill it quick too
  11. Rail Car System Update: 01.30.2017 As I've said before I have big hopes in this project but not sure what the final outcome will be. I changed the design of the Rail System to reduce the part count and also for a more stable running gear. I've also started a Depot, it has 237 parts and think it looks really cool. I haven't tested the loading ramp height yet nor did I test loading any Kerbals. The only concern I have right now is lagging of my computer when adding track distance. I wanted longer distance between each support but shaking of the rails were making it difficult to get them any further apart. I was also having reentry shakes that were exploding my tracks after just a few were connected. I will continue but it's very uncertain how much track I will have when this project is complete.

  12. Congratulations! I would have given you a like when I first saw it but hey it was competition!
  13. Ok thank you for the heads up on that one , It was WWII that's where I found him in my research, I notice someone else had mentioned 52, It was probably the B-25 Here is where I found him. I love Aircraft and got this from my Dad who served in the Air Force but i never studied all the WWII Aircraft until now.
  14. You are very welcome, beautiful work on the cockpit and wings, had to share it! Also I am using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus, it's a European Product out of Berlin, I love their products and Xara, they are affiliated.
  15. S7X1 I saw a B52 Bomber built by @Servo Servo and thought to shine a little light on his craft. I designed the S7X1 small enough to fit in it's cargo bay and fast enough to embarrass FedEx on small package delivery! I've also had an Uncle that was a casualty in WWII but never knew how he died, I recently found out he was shot down in one of these B-52 Bombers. Just thought I would share this on this post sense this all seems to be coming together at the same time. Note: The craft file is only the S7X1 Craft File: S7X1 Parts: 18 Mass: 5.405t Height: 2.9m Width: 2.7m Length: 6.7m Servo's B52 Bomber can be found here and his Craft File: B-52 Stratofortress
  16. Well I would think we look a little more handsome than some of these guys!
  17. Stone Bridge I think everyone knows I am one to finish 1 project and start 3 . Well anyway I purchased a book the other day titled "How To Read Bridges" and saw a Stone Bridge, got some ideas found some Stone Blocks in KSP and started this Bridge. Right now gravity is giving me the usual fight. I don't think I will be relocating this one, it may just be a show piece on the runway. Part count is at 1569 and getting close to lagging my computer too much.
