That dark grey really does look nice when it's all together...this is my first model using it as the base colour. When saw it for the first time on one of Jon's Alphabet fighters (U, I think?), it really stuck with me. As the seed part was dkgray, I (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks for the kudos Jamie...very encouraging! It wasn't an easy part to use...it seems to be molded to be awkward. Inspiration for this one came from a couple places. The pod racers of SW EpI are evident in the design, but strangely enough the part (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I do that every once in a while, too. Search back into the bowels of older creations looking for inspirations for new stuff. I'm constantly amazed by the sheer volume of amazing works that've been published since I've been on Lugnet. (...) It (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Many thanks James! I seem to be really hooked on the asymetrical concept these days. It's fun to make it such, yet try to balance it visually so it doesn't look lobsided or too gangly. When I was looking at this afterward on my desk, it brought up (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Anne! The seed part is a new feature of the .space forum. Suggested by Adrian, a part is chosen each month and is featured on the splash page about 2/3 of the way down on the left side. The challenge is to use the part in an MOC during it's (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) When Jon Palmer took over the reins as curator of .space, he requested ideas for what to add to the .space sidebar. I had mentioned the lame parts contest, and creating a monthy lame part that can be used as inspiration for creations, and lo, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

I know! I Just saw it this past Monday. That moderator guy...must be 24/7. After I read your post, I took a look back to the hovership (thing) posts...it really does look like part of the crew. Some great designs came out of that run - will be going (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Thankye, kind sir. I thought I'd better take a swing at it before it changed up to an even more difficult part! I'm convinced that chrome looks good on nearly anything. If it were socially acceptable, I've have myself chromed. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Looking good Mark! Ever since the M-tron 6923 Particle Ionizer, I've always liked the concept of the futuristic helicopter...a design this seems to be in that category. The angles of the tail section break up the main beam of the ship nicely, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

I do not post here much but I recently built something that I though it would be good to share. I'm sure many of you remember Todd Trotter's Sighthound (if you don't, try (URL) and the marvelous hatch he built for it. Well, I recently was (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
