Wow! Joe, this thing is great! You nailed the lionfish camoflage. I thought
it was black at first but brown is spiffy. Excellent cockpit (missed that at
FBTB) and overall form.
I do have a question/comment and a criticism. First,
off the record, is the 1x2x4 panel a “data sensory” thing? If not, I would
suggest swapping it with a clear one.

Actually, the cockpit isn’t on FBTB, it turns out that Gareth lives not too far
from me, so he shows up at meetings and I trade parts with him. He wanted a
Bohrok canopy part for a MOC and we started playing with the part.
And as for the black/brown...I’m still using brown leftover parts from my
Nautilus to build:)!
The panel you point out is indeed a data panel of some type. I originally
thoughtof making a steering mechanism coming from the top dropping down, but
then I thought, “why?” Sea Monkeys use mental powers, so controls would be
generally untouched. Now, if I could only figure out SM graphics:)

Secondly, I think the sphenoid (came across it while looking for a synonym for
spiffy, since I use it a lot) could use some work. The “neck bone” seems to
interrupt the flow of the design. What about reversing it and using a 2x2
mound (~10 minutes later...couldn’t think of a set; Egypt Adventurers but
(duh) Snowspeeder): http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30165. Or one of the
other partly curved bricks; if it’s not too much trouble.
|
I took a look and while I couldn’t seem to easily find a mound part, I used the
following part in white (4 in a 2x2 sideways setup, so the curves went
right/left):
and that does a good job ‘sanding’ the shape of the design. Thanks! Now to take
more pix...tomorrow.

Dunno..I’m still getting the hang of FTX myself

| I'm very interested to hear what this craft does. Is this a defensive craft? Does it have weapons? Is the distortion field part of the sphere of communication? This Sea Monkey business really is taking on a life of its own. Funny to think its only (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jun-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space, FTX)
