I wish you'd kept at that carrier concept--the "traditional" carrier, while still cool, has been done a lot and a carrier that holds its "children" on its frame--I've called them "marsupial carriers", because mine had the fighters recessed a la Suffren [1]--is a very neat idea. Looking at the pictures, though, I can tell your fit of rage was well-founded. It looks GREAT but closing those very odd shapes would have been maddening! But, then, those odd shapes *are* something you do very well. Anyways, I'd love to see the concept carried further. All 25 gallons of my grey are in use at the moment (ack), but with enough time I'll put together a marsupial for Suffren's snub fighters. best LFB [1] Maybe they should be "scorpion carriers," but scorpion = sting to most people, not = carrying children on its back.
