Trailmakers Variable Wing Infinite Bomber 

Hello! I'm playing on XBox, so it's a constant battle with the build budget. I had to delete large portions and re-build 3 times to keep in budget. I try to avoid naming them after real planes, because I'd go mad trying to make things exactly the same within the 700 build limit. I chose to not decal the bombs, since they tend to have this weird static looking shimmer when you paint them. Same goes with decals on neon lights. It shows really badly whenever there's a shadow. It was a fun build with lots of challenges and I'll probably tackle another swing wing in the future. Thanks for your comment! 👍

Nah who

@@BusyTrailmakers I can't remember the name at the moment, but it showed up one row above mine, so it was quick! They didn't bother to change the description, so my name still shows up when people view it at least. 🤷

Thanks! I wanted to make it more like the original, but I ran out of build budget way early in the process, so made a lot of compromises. It works really well for such a huge jet.

Yeah you did a good job

@@BusyTrailmakers Thanks for saying that! I'm a sub to your channel and really like your stuff. I watch a lot of the shorts.

🔥

Thanks! Makes me think of a penguin. lol I had never made variable wings before, because I thought it made no difference, but it really does! When they are open, it will fly with the nose slightly up in a straight line indefinitely, and when folded in the nose tips down slightly and the speed picks up. It can change directions faster than most of my other jets too.

@@mrec7512 interesting! Would love to see more of those things. Variable wing looks like a good match with bomber

I sure did! lol

I was trying to mimic the b-1 as much as the build budget would allow, but it does look a lot like the alkonost for sure.

Hello! I had originally been saving this build for the large fins, but they didn't provide enough drag, so went back to hand built ones. It was a real bummer, since I really could have used more blocks to improve things. I'll probably do another stabilized crane at some point, since my old one was before gyros and those cool truss blocks existed. Thanks!

Hello! I’m on Xbox, so it’s only on their gallery. Thanks!

Hello! I play on XBox, so it’s on the gallery there already. If you are on XBox too, search for MrEC and all of my builds come up. Thanks!
