Tom this small ship is perfect! Great use of rounded bricks to build the
cockpit, the inside detailing is awesome, pure goodness. What a wonderfull
way to use that 2x6x1 arch!

Thanks for the compliment.

At first sight I thought the canopy would not open, but it does! Wow!

It was a requirement :-)

How did you make the, hmmm, 3x3 curved thingy fit the front of the engine? I
saw in Ryan Wood’s
misc folder a way to do it, having your name. Is that the way? I found an
other way, but it’s not strong enough. It uses the exhaust pipe I got with
one of the racer bikes (you can see that part
here when
Tofu is wearing her space suit). I’ll try to take some pics and post them
here anyway.

Ryan’s assembly is a way that he worked out, and yes he did name it after me
(whatta guy :) although I’ll let him comment on his own experimentation process.
The way he figured out is not the way I did it. I didn’t use the part you
mention either. But since there seems to be more than one way to do it, I’m not
going to divulge my method here just yet: I want to see how others do it :-)
| |
Final word : I have to try and build this one, the SNOT you use to hold /
open the canopy looks very interesting.
|
It was fun to figure out, and for that scale and functionality, SNOT is the only
way to go.

| (...) Like Tom says, experiment with it. Try and find new ways to do it. Between he and I, we have two solid ways of making those two pieces fit together, and I'm willing to bet that someone will come up with some other surprise technique to make it (...)

| Here is the assembly I found for this engine configuration : (URL) The main problem with this configuration is that it's not sturdy at all... and I didn't try to solve this issue yet. But I like very much the "perfect fit" of itly. Cheers, JP. (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)
