(...) Thanks! The cockpit really made all the difference, Its roundness really makes the shape organic.

It couldn't have been easy to maintain that colour scheme either. All this, and a cockpit (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jun-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) What this really does....hm. I made this to be a command craft. There are no weapons on it, as it's meant to be behind the attack vehicles. The fins serve as a heckuva array for the SM's comm field, enabling the SM to coordinate and control (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jun-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space, FTX)

A lot of that space is made for allowing all of the parts to hinge, although there is a place where I can fill the space in. The blockiness (...)

(...) Ooh, very cool, Joe. Very interesting solution to a tough-to do creature. I like the cockpit, altough I would have to agree that I think the main body is a little too blocky, and seems kind of 'open' right at the behind the head. Also, the (...)

(...) Nice work Joe, on a good idea. I think that the dorsal fin should be made in the same way as the side fins, though - with some sort of SNOT to turn the studs on their sides to do it. That would nicely complete the cool "spreading spines" (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jun-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space, FTX)

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?

While Ogel wouldn't mind having this, I tend to think that this might be cool for the Sea Monkeys for a land invasion craft...with appropriate refinements:) Joe Meno (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)
