Landing gear is a feature. And the ship uses a pair of my favourite element ;-)

The landing gear is of
questionable stability and the canopy doesn’t open- and with 8 studs of
binding surface and no good edges to grab, it’s actually pretty tough to
remove. (grumble, grumble, stupid canopy part design...)

Dude, that’s my favourite canopy! Three of my MOCs have just such an opening
canopy, in a similar size range (using two different solutions). I guess I’ll
just have to post some pictures of them so’s you can see how it’s done... ;-)

And... uh... I
haven’t put much flavor text in with many of my models in the last couple of
years. It looks like I was trying to make up for that here. There is way
more than the usual amount of techno-babble and other pointless rambling.

Well, frankly the blurb-to-picture ratio gets a bit high for some MOCs... I
always find my eyes glazing over after the first couple of sentences, so I try
to keep it to one or two sentences on my own pages. I usually try to include
something outlandish or unusual to help keep the reader’s attention.
Actually, with regards to that point, I kind of feel that if I can’t write
something exciting about the MOC, then I haven’t thought of a good concept
behind the creatiuon in the first place. Building something exciting in concept
is better than building something unexciting in concept, right?
