There has been some recent discussion here about the design of cockpits. As a result I felt inspired to start work on a large blacktron Lander that I have been planning for a while. I started naturally enough with the cockpit, which will reside on the front of the ship hanging on the top half. I have some design sketches, I'll try to scan & post them. The ship design is inspired by some lander ships seen in the anime classic Southern Cross . Here is a page describing them with some good pictures: http://www.3dgamedev.com/robotech/NavalAux/tir_AssaultCarrier.html Any what I have built so far is the cockpit portion of the ship. I used the big yellow quarter dome piece in a similar fassion as done in the Mega Core Magnitizer (6989). There is a lot more room in there for seats and such, but as of now I dont have any more, so I'll outfit it completely later.

Oh, yeah I forgot to add this. Ignore the black risers with the 2x4s. They are not part of the model. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

		Re: Pictures of large Blacktron lander cockpit
That thing is sweet! The lines are awesome. I'll have to re-think my quarter domes now that I've seen how you've used them. I don't think I've used mine since I originally pulled them out of the box. Wow! -Duane <snip> (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

		Re: Pictures of large Blacktron lander cockpit
That looks great! One question, though... how do you attach the quarter dome to the base, since it's at 45 degrees to the perpendicular? I've always wondered this since I saw the M-Tron 6989 Mega Core Magnetizer. I like the arrangement of the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

Awesome Pat! Will it hold 12 troops? What is the wing arrangement gonna be like? Very nice set-up, keep up the good work! (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well done! I was planning on doing something like this for the cockpit of a large ship...you beat me to it! 'Course, I only have blue domes...but I'll still have to steal your ideas. --Bram (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Dang. It's big. :-, How'd you work in the 45-degree angles? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

		Re: Pictures of large Blacktron lander cockpit
It bears a eerie resemblence to a U.F.O. helmet. I think it would make a great head for a really large Mech. -gyug (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)
