I was fooling around and got an idea and got a great idea for engine feathers. Then as I was building a ship to fit the engines I wanted to see how small I could go. After a few rebuilds, and lots of 'whoosh' testing I have a ship. I call this ship (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, lugnet.build) !

The pics seem a bit dark, but looks like a good job to me!! Are those chain/conveyor links you used on the engines? How do you like that dark grey highlighting the red? I've been doing some experimenting on using the dark grey to highlight other (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Awesome! Lots of detail in a small package. The body has a sleek look to it and the engine feathers are a great innovation. Great model. -Duane (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Duane! Can't wait to see what comes of it though... I've fooled around with stacking the design with different sized gears, eh, looked ok. But someone out there, they got a plan. they just don't know it yet... Mark Neumann (URL) of the Snow (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Gary! The flower pot bits are actually dark grey and come from the UCS X-wing. The engine exaust end pieces. (George forgive me I can't remember the engine type, Ion? no, Fusion? Dang! Can't remember) Anyway, I love the things, personally (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Weeeeeeerrrringggg... I like it. One gripe, the 4 dark grey and 2 light parts look outta place, but there's not much you could do about that, so all is good. And it is allways fun ot make something small to fly around the house right? (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Actually, if your LRS was an atmospheric craft, and it schwaaaaaaad, it wouldn't go anywere. To be realistic, an ion engine produces as much thrust in weight as a piece of paper, while a rocket uses thrust equal to the weight of a couple (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

hey Mike! I see it as a fighter, very small silhouette and speed make it an awesome fighter. But the thing is so darn sleek, all you got to do is pop off the weapon pods and you got a racer. Increasing the speed about %6. Or that's what the little (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

Thats a cool little ship. The trans blue looks pretty good with the red and dk gray. The links as feathers is a good idea. I'm jealous though cuz I don't have any links at all. ;-) I also dig the flower pots. Just never NEVER stick a 2x2 cone in (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)
