Yeah, I think it would have been easier to photo had I used a light
somewhere behind the camera. I'm going to have to look into that.

Heh. I usually try to type up some techno-gobbledegook to go with my
vehicles, and this one was more fun because it's a Blacktron contest.
Hopefully, I'll have more time before the deadline to come up with at
least one more entry.
My advice to everyone entering the contest: Try real hard to come up
with something more original than the standard spaceship-with-guns-on.
Richard's Orca is definitely unusual, and if people use their noggins a
bit, I'm sure we'll see a lot more interesting stuff. Remember:
Blacktrons need support vehicles too. :^)
