2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...
This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...
Okay so the Cosmo Messers aren't 100% compatible with the Yamato, so I wanted to modify one to be close to spec. I somehow wound up making a full-blown Cosmo Falcon. There I go, makin' replicas again I also did some side by side comparisons on an old request and Good...
Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...
Uh ... yeah, I'm not sure why I started making this yesterday. I'll do 'inspired' builds, but I never attempt actual replicas. For some perspective, this is sixteen hours of work crammed into about a day and a half. It took me a year to get the Admiral Hipper slapped...
One of the most annoying things about fleshing out these World War II inspired factions is that there isn't enough territory in the setting to go around. I mean we've got America, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etcetera. There are only a handful of habitable worlds,...
I didn’t want to be posting this late, but it’s always a possibility with Clan Battles.
Anyway …
I’ve decided on the designation BfC 109E. The only difference between that designation and the original plane is the C, which just stands for Cosmo. The E is the first production model of the Messerschmitt that I’m aware of so it’s the model number I’m going with for mine.
Here’s what they look like currently.
These two are parked on the Admiral Hipper’s aft arms. They can’t be serviced from these spots but it lets them hitch a ride over extremely long distances without obstructing the weapons. It also looks cool, so there’s that, too.
There are some visual mods working in the world I’m using but the Cosmo Messer E models are still modless. Not scriptless, but scripts always get a pass if they’re set up properly.
I won’t be able to do it this month since I’ve got a bit more testing to do and not a lot of time to do it, but sometime in March they’ll be ready for prime time on the Workshop.
Also I want to make at least one drone variant of the Cosmo Messer based on pro’s XB-2 combat drone. I’ve got some of them working ‘okay’ with the Admiral Hipper, so it’s looking promising. One step at a time and eventually we’ll get there.
Tonight was W-P-A and W-P-O’s first official outing in Clan Battles. All in all it wasn’t too bad. We didn’t go positive on wins, at least not in the W-P-O div, but I think we were only down two losses. I didn’t check in with the W-P-A div but they were apparently doing alright.
I’m not sure how things are going to go throughout the season; my initial impression isn’t helping me make up my mind on that one way or the other, so here’s hoping.
I just wanted to share these because they’re each uniquely amusing.
