| | | | | | (...) Ouch- you're killing me! Hmm, though it would be interesting to see how you make the translation. I see this model as defined by certain parts- the lattice wings and big curvy nose pieces in particular, and those would have to be done totally (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Hey Tony, I'm enjoying this one. That's a great use for those lattice pieces. While I find the black part on the front a tad heavy visually, I can see it as shielding for the craft. Kind of like those 5mph bumpers they had to tack onto cars in the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Yes, the big curves do dominate the nose of the ship visually. But you gotta have plenty of room for coolant and the big magnetic whatchamadoos. Those are the only guns on the ship, and the idea is that the ship is built around them. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) New Kansas!? Children of the Space Corn? Great ship Tony, great name, but I'm surprised you didn't go with .38 Special. Guess you wanted the added firepower. I really like the canopy area, good solid design. For some reason the ship reminds me (...) (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I was picturing more of a smuggler's broken-down freighter like in the Wild West episode of the original Battlestar Galactica, but I kind of like the Burt Reynolds (...)

| | | | (...) The parts over the cargo space are a plate taller, so there would be a larger flat surface exposed above the radar dish. That could possibly be solved by mounting the dish differently and moving it up a bit, but the engineering gets (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
