Nice work, Anthony!
I can see the Sky Crane's influence. Your's is more visually similar to the
Sky Crane than my Condor drop ship was, but it's cool to see someone else
got inspiration from them. I've gotten a chance to see some of them up close
when I was on vacation a few years ago in southern Washington state (near
Mt. St. Helens). They're really impressive creatures. :)
About the only thing I see that I'd probably change (curse you Muffin
Head!!) would be the langing gear. I'm slowly going over to the "Sandlin
side" and have come to like the old landing 'stilts' less and less.
Good stuff!
