Which was the point of this entire exercise, I even used Dino tails!
The forward section with the sensor array occurred when I realised that
because I only had curves in one way (no inverse curves, are they even
available?) and that I couldn't line them up flush. But I am really happy
with the way it came out.
Initially I had the engine mount in two distinct halfs, left and right with
some geebs in the two stud gap in the middle. It looked great, but it made
the engine section way too wide, so I had to lose that part. Top and
Bottom was a consideration, but then it was too tall, instead of too wide.
I have to admit I was a little, taken back, by the way it turned out, I've
never built anything quite like this before. It is defiantly a step
forward. At the moment I'm working on a ship based on the Santa Fe
set. It's not quite the same direction as the Scarab was (so named because
it looks like a beetle) but it's something different.
And, before I forget
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
Oi, Oi, Oi!
