 | | I build space too! A small fighter moc
|
| I usually don't venture out of .castle much but I have a ship to show ya'll. It's a 1 man fighter with lots of cargo space. It could be a smuggler ship cuz of speed and firepower, but it could also work as a small drop ship. The jango fett boxes can (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc) !

|
| (...) You and JHK had a pretty valid point about the lack of roundness, so I did he best I could on the neck (which is a marked improvement) and found wedge parts for the body. The great side result was that I was able to put a plate on the bottome (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| (...) Thanks! You're right about the canopy, and I just ran out of those pieces :( As for the greebs, I tend to think of myself as a feeble greebler:) But ths ship was mostly fun. The legs are very cantankerous, so if you breathe on it the wrong (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Joe, This edition makes an excellent ship superior. ;) As Gil said: (...) I totally agree. I see the sphenoid could not be rounded out but I think the other new parts help shroud it's boxyness; plus, the repetitious grill texture in that area (...)

The top fin worked out much better than I expected, but I originally was going to array the spines under their opposite neighbor, so you only would have seen half as (...)

| | | | | Re: One improved Lionfish, two new MOCs...
|
| (...) Thanks! Your suggestion to make the top fin like the siide fins I originally was not too keen on, mainly because I was thinking of doing only one plate and all the spines from that, which meant that the studs would be seen on one side. I (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.space, FTX)

The idea of landing gear became legs as I continued to build...they just looked right:) (...) There are (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.space, FTX)

I'd love to see it when it gets changed. (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.castle, lugnet.gaming.brikwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, FTX)

In atmospheric fighter combat, if I drop in on your six, you've got to shake me long enough to swing around and point your forward-facing guns at me before you can shoot back because you can't fly backwards. Thus, whoever gets (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

If your propellent has an exit velocity of 2mph, it shouldn't ever be able to make you go faster than 2mph. Once you've hit that point, the propellent (...)
