Wow! That is a GREAT model. It's just... beautiful. The lame parts really blend in well, and all the angles used on the wings is just awesome. The ship is a very cool-looking, and the vaguely pod-like cockpit is excellent. I really like how you made (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! I appreciate your comments. (...) The head was the hardest part, so I'm glad it worked (and I was inspired by pods when making it). (...) Actually, I didn't use any turntables in the wing construction. Each wing is held on by 3 click (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

You know what I thought of when I saw this and I loved it! Remember in the Buck Rogers episodes, when the Bird guy "Hawk" had that cool Bird like Space ship. It was the coolest right! I remember trying to make countless versions of it when I was a (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! I had fun working in the mantas. (...) The row boat is right above the landing skids, forming the bottom hull of the bird (It's barely visible in the 3/4 view). I'll see if I can get a better picture of it soon. (...) Reed (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
