Yeah, my camera really sucks... I'm going to get a better one once I get my
tax return and as long as I don't get desperate and break down the Phalanx
I'll get some better pictures. I'm also going to LDraw it so it'll be
available that way too.

Heh, the landing gear actually just barely hold the ship up... originally I
just three landing struts, two in the back and one up front, but there was
too much weight in the middle and the ship kept falling down. After I put
in the middle landing struts the ship kept coming apart at the middle/rear
joint. I had to add several technic pins to get it to stay together, but
now the ship is very solid and very wooshable. The ship sits on it's
landing gear, but I can tell that there's quite alot of stress on the click
hinges.
As for the story, whenever I build a story forms in my head. The story is
both influential on and incluenced by the MOC. It makes building much more
interesting, and keeps me sane! :)
