ok I am going to try and find the time to fit this in.

no concept sketch ti's completely in my head but it is going to be based on a Wasp !

oh and it will be a vehicle of some discription although it might end up too heavy to fly..lol

ok I have started blocking out the wasp body, obviously this is going to change a lot but here a quick preview render.

Thanks for the tip, I do have references for the wasp, however this is not going to be the scale of a wasp and will end up an all terrain vehicle so is only really wasp like
