Orinthopter Pic
Does anyone have a pic that I could use for an ornithopter? I know, its an unusual request, but I can't seem to find any. Thanx in advance.

If you can wait until the weekend, I can try to draw one? Have you some special ideas about the look? And should it be isometric or not?

Thanx for you're aid. As for the view, isometric would be nice. I have a picture, but it's only 2 dimensional. I can't draw for beans and my attept ended in failure.

There is never any failure in trying. Keep drawing until you get good at it.

M:TG orni perfered. I like the wood & cloth feel of that one (the Dune one is OK, but looks to mechanical)

Hmmm, the Dune ornithopters are what Iīve had in mind when I offered to draw one. I donīt know the M:TG thing.
Shadowstrike, if your 2D pic shows this M:TG orni, please send the pic to me (the e-mail button works), it would be helpful...

Darn, I knew I needed a scanner sometime... Well, if there are any Magic players with this card and a scanner, can you please be so generous as to post it here?
Maybe I can convey this to you verbally, BeBro. Imagine a bird, with wodden bones and in lieu of feathers, sailcoth. Where the bird's body would be, you would have a wodden compartment (as in Dune but those are metallic) where the pilot would be situated. Attached to the wooden frame of the wing, are small bombs (don't know if you can depict this, if not, its ok).
Basically, the Dune ornithopter, built of wood and sailcloth and with the wings to the side and not above the main compartment.
Thanx for volenteering.

To answer you're question Beto, an ornithopter is a plane, not the conventional type but one which flies by the means of flapping wings, like a bird. As yet, no ornithopter large enough to carry passengers has ever flew, as far as my knowledge goes. It has been portrayed in various Fantasy and Science-Fiction Novels.

Ok, Shadowstrike, here is the first try...
I try to follow the description (wood, sailcloth, little bombs), but the result is probably completely different from your imagination.
I need suggestions about what should be changed.

When itīs been finished? Iīm currently testing two scns and Iīm working on my Rome scn so for this time Iīm afraid that I havenīt enough time to test one more scn - I hope this doesnīt disappoint you? But later I would agree...
BTW for the orni pic there is no shield placement, but you can do it easily with the FW editor.
