  Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
The first two have been seen before, but the rest, are knew AFAIK: (URL) Brief write-ups for each model will follow before long. Feedback is welcome, of course! Dave! FUT OT.clones (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
Dave! I think you need to place these images within the context of some basic html because freewebs bombs direct links to images. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>davesbitchinc...oc</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <IMG SRC="davesbitchinclonemoc.jpg" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=400 (...)

(...) Doh! Oh well--that'll give me something to work on during lunch. Stay tuned! Dave! (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Oops! Let's try this again: (URL) may take a minute or two to load the six images. Dave! (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
I particularly like 3 and 4, 5 seems a little unfinished somehow because of the semi-open cockpit space. I'd like to see the other side of 3 and I think 5 would be fairly easy to improve. Are you missing a CAD version of a certain trans-yellow (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Strangely, #3 was something of a rough draft to play with a different leg articulation and toe design, though I'm pleased with its overall appearance. I like #5 in general, but those Blok-Bots faceplates are a pain to render, so I went with (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Nice. Kind of makes me wish Mega Bloks would do a space theme while TLC is on its Star Wars hiatus. You have illustrated that they could do it very well with thier part selection. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) I got half of them this morning, the other half did not display. I have past experience with freewebs when the same problem came up. Presenting the images via HTML seemed to eliminate the trouble. None of the links from the original post are (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Still working the bugs out, and I'm afraid that this page won't load any more quickly: (URL) page simply presents three views of a slightly modified b-tron03. The renderings are lower resolution than the previous ones, due to time constraints (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Yeah, I really like this MOC. The details helped, I think. I hadn't noticed the cones on the back of the legs previously, and that's a nice detail. How are you generating your flash file, Dave! Multiple renders out of POV, manipulated in Flash (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Thanks! Your initial suggestion was right on the money--I like the way the finished product looks with the interrupted/irregular top surface. More interesting to the eye. (...) You're witnessing my very first babysteps into animation, thanks (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron re-revisited
 
(...) I think the underneath area needs some work maybe -- it's too flat, and I hate that (like you care, right?). And why aren't you trying some clever use of the landing gear that comes with that blue jet? What are those areas of 4 grey 1x1 round (...)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron re-revisited
 
(...) Interesting! I like a smooth-ish undersurface for some reason, maybe a for the minimal below-wing profile. I dunno. I tend toward atmospheric-style craft designs, and I guess I've stuck to a format. Maybe that's something to work on for the (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I've added a new mech at the top of (URL) page.> I wanted to experiment with foot and cockpit design, and this is what I came up with. Thanks for looking! Dave! FUT: OT.Clones (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
