Space Sucks(1), and Star Wars is only good for parts... that's my general
viewpoint. :-)

Heh. I only buy any theme for parts anymore.

That said, I have to echo the chorus of gushing about your
Skipray. There are some very clever uses of pieces in that baby, it looks
wicked... and fast, and I especially like how you ensured that the tail
vanes can only rotate 90 degrees and when they do, they lock into position
(using my favorite piece... the 1.2 light gray technic pin/stud).

I like that piece too. It's just so versatile! I kind of stumbled across the
technique when I was digging through my Technic parts. Originally, I was
going to use a couple of gears and an external thingy to rotate the tail
vanes, but I then couldn't figure out how to make it stop at 90 degrees. I
saw the (part# 6536) and I decided to try that with the Technic 1/2 pins,
and it worked!


Nice job. Now LDraw it so I can vote for it for LDraw MOTM! :-)

Nah, I have another _real_ model I'm working on. ;^)

1 - it is, after all, a vacuum :-)

I suppose I can't argue with that. ;^)
