Avro Lancaster B Mk III (new project) - February 20, 2022

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog here to start 2022. I know I've been absent for a while without a new Blog. Now that I'm working and studying, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions and some weekends. I'm not sure what the future holds after my work at the public health center ends in August of this year. But one thing is certain: Until they call me effectively, I need to dedicate a good part of my time to the next civil service exams.


For this Blog, I'm going to share the new video I uploaded to my YouTube channel. I started a new Blender timelapse series where I make the British WW2 bomber Avro Lancaster after a request made in one of my BF 109 timelapse videos.


I wrote a Blog where I talked about the new series (New video and upcoming project and updates for: Panzer I - February 8th, 2022). In case you ask me, the Avro Lancaster is a British four-engine heavy bomber built during WW2. It was developed from the twin-engine Avro Manchester after the original twin-engine bomber proved to be troublesome by its Rolls-Royce Vulture engines. The Lancaster was equipped with four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines (the same that equipped the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, P-51B and P-51C Mustang and other British planes and some American planes), proving to be effective. The major action was the night bombing missions over Germany - which they were responsible for the destruction of Dresden, Hamburg, Köln and other German cities with incendiary bombs; and strategic targets like the dam busting missions with the famous Bouncing Bombs and concrete buildings, aqueducts and bridges with the Grand Slam - the non-Nuclear bomb developed during WW2. The Lancaster was the basis for the Avro York and Avro Lincoln - the last one equipped with Rolls-Royce Griffon engines.

Now for the images:






The Lancaster fuselage is looking good. Just the base for the forward and aft turret requires some adjustments, same thing to the cabin.

I also need to adjust the vertices for the fuselage in order to paint the green / brown areas in relation to the black painted area. In case you ask me why they painted its 'belly' in black, I believe the British adopted that strategy for their bombers during the night sorties in order to make difficult for the Germans to spot them easily unless they would bring their searchlight to spot them and use their Flak cannons or their night fighters to shot the British bombers down.

The next components are: the wings, the tail (rudder and elevator), the weapons, the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the landing gears, the bomb bay door (some Lancasters were refitted to carry Tallboy, Grand Slam and Bounding Bombs - which the engineers removed the doors for those weapons) and the landing gears. I noticed it didn't count the roundels under the wings - which I may not include it. As for its interior, I can try making it.

Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you enjoy this Blog. In case I have some spare time to enjoy, I'll be working on other things aside from Blender projects and my personal things. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see them. See you next time.

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I would like to inform you that I returned to work at the public health center in the city where I live. Yup, I'm back on duty after a long time of waiting. In case you follow me on DeviantArt, you are aware the reason for my return. In case not, I'll leave the link to my recent journal there. Job and Lowering my personal works... again (Upd): https://www.deviantart.com/tonytoriusimages/journal/Job-and-Lowering-my-personal-works-again-Upd-875311216 I still can't believe it because they gave me a very tight working schedule even if it is to cover the absence of others at lunch, like - working at 05:00 to 07:00, then at 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00? It's a pretty tiresome trip. Fortunately I have the weekends and holidays to rest, study and working in my projects. However, I have a ...

New Updates for: Macchi C.202 and Macchi C.205 (new project) - October 11, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on October 11 - approaching the end of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. Fortunately I concluded the tasks to reach level 30 in the new Nightwave chapter, which makes things easier for me now that I don't have to go for the prizes. Now for this Blog. I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore. Let me show you what I did so far. The Folgore received a new Armature after I appended from the P-51 Mustang project - with some slight alterations in the rotation for the landing gear and canopy hatch bones; aside from adding more bones for the links. Now it's looking good. I struggled to ...

New updates for: Horten Ho 229 and F6F Hellcat (new project) - March 22, 2024

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2024. I'm still working as a receptionist at the public health center where I live and my 7th semester is still ongoing. That means, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. The town hall is calling the candidates from the civil service exam. They called the first two approved candidates for the receptionist vacancy, with the first one accepting it. The nurse and the archive officer is still going, the fourth candidate for ambulance driver on duty accepted the vacancy while the three other candidates didn't take it as they are working for other town halls. I'm still I'm waiting to be called to work as a community health agent or as a receptionist. Unless the second candidate accept the vacancy, I'll have to wait a little more. There's a chance they might call me after they inaugurate the new public health center, dedicated for specialized doctors (pediatrics, cardiologist, ginecologist, physioth...
