The above is a gunship that ended up being geared toward the Eastern
Block, due to the colors of the materials available.

Good stuff! I love the EB ship... my only criticism is that it seems like
the tail could use a bit more beef to it.

In what manner do you think I should beef up that tail? were you thinking
thicker? or more greebed? My original plans had a vertical fin at the end of
the tail, but I would have had to make the ship wider, which ended up
looking funny to me.

I’m not sure if this is what Mark is talking about, but I was observing that the
ship looked awfully nose-heavy. If the rotating thrusters are supposed to be
used for lift, it should balance around that point. And it really doesn’t look
like it does. Adding bulk would balance it out visually as well- like a
horizontal wing between the top and bottom curves with more guns, or just making
it thicker from top to bottom. Or even add another turret hanging down from the
end.
Other than that, cool ship- I particularly like the use of the technic
wheel-ish things as weapon turrets. That canopy rocks too. I really hope to
see that come on a smaller set some day. Other colors would be nice as well.
What did you use to set the angles? Plate hinges? Click hinges? The 3-blade
technic propeller part?

Interestingly, the ship actually does balance physically (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
