When the United States collapsed it took much of the new highway system with it. Pacific Northwest based Kenworth adapted to the change and abandoned truck building for planes.



Along with Boeing Syndicate, Kenworth grew to be one of the main plane builders for Pacifica. Its line of flying boats was utilized by the military and pirates alike.

The FB7 Berserker:

Along with Crimson Skies this MOC was heavily inspired by Porco Rosso and Nausicaa. Big thanks to Tom Rafert for the Kenworth idea.

Tell me what you think!

(...) Even though you've shown me preview pics, it *still* took me a minute or two to figure out which way was the front. Awesome. :P --(URL) SteveR> (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
Very nice plane Jon! Double cockpit, wow! And it seems the crew can easily spot what's following them. Heu, no, what's they're targeting and following. Yep, figuring which way this plane flies is surprising! I guess I have this feeling mainly (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Very unique and very cool shape. I wouldn't have tried such a style own my on, it's inspiring to see that it works! And congratulations for the photo work, too. It's definitely worth the extra effort. Happy building! (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(URL) (...) Jon, This is a very weird design, but you make it work. The double-cockpit is always a chancey move, and this one works well. And the plane is definately not something I'd want to run into - that giant gattling on the front looks like (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Dude! This is really cool. I love the sleekness and snotlessness... you're a true master it it, Jon. The angles are really neat, and I like the use of binocular pieces to mount the guns. Seems kind of odd to have everything backwards, though, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Okay! I've really enjoyed following all the Crimson Skies models being built. I have to say, this is my favorite. Of what I've seen of the game, you've really captured the essence of the theme. Are the game creators aware of the models bieng (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) I like that quite a bit. (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
Sweet! I love this. It's a floating tank that flies. I've been completely out of the LEGO scene for months, and I'm playing catch up now. This crimson skies stuff is awesome, but this is definitely my favourite of them all so far. I think that the (...) (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Ah, at last, something new under the sun. Really great work Jon, innovative design, interesting background story, etc. A+ Take care, Gary (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
Hey Jon, I'm not sure if you meant to be funny or serious but I think the Berserker is absolutely hilarious! It borders on looking like one of those crackpot flying contraptions from old movie reels of the early days of aviation. This airplane is (...)

  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Jon, this is truely AMAZING. You have inspired me to get back into building space creations. Great job! On a side note, is Crimson Skies your own creation (like GA's 3vil and Lenny's Eastern Blok), or is it a movie? (URL) Nathan Wells (URL) (...)

  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) It took me a while to wrap my brain around the direction this thing flies, but once I figurd it out, I'm rather impressed. I mourn for the loss of the stud, though. All this snot/studless building... Adrian (URL) (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Excellent modelling as always Jon, but having all three sets of wings swept forward just makes it look like a backwards-flying airplane - which simply makes me go "yuck" from an aesthetic point of view. I would have done it with the front (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
  Re: Crimson Skies MOC: Berserker
 
(...) Y'know...the whole craft is very beautifully constructed and really killer, but I just can't get my mind to accept the orientation you present. I see and understand that it flies in the direction you say, but it really does not work for me. I (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
