Thanks dude!

   I think that the gattling gun is what really does it for me. It reminds me of the A-10 in a way, where the whole plane is built around a grotesquely huge gun. Screw an engine, we all know that the big cylinder in the center is an ammo drum.

I actually hesitated to put that on because at the time (1937 or so) there weren’t really any guns like that used. It was sort of a dead period between the gatling guns of the post-civil war era and the vulcan miniguns of the 50’s on.

But then I remembered all of this is make believe and it looks rad...so I slapped it on the plane.

   I love how you made the cockpits, and two of them too!

The only thing I don’t care for are the geonosian prints on the bottom of the pontoons, too bad LEGO doesn’t make that piece in plain.

I might just brasso those off sometime, but they don’t really bother me.
