This reminds me of a movie I have seen recently... ;) Now I know what to do
with all the Star Wars hinges.
Praise: excellent modell with great functionality. I vote for next MOC set
by TLC (if you are willing to sell your copyrights).
Criticisms: After landing the pilot seems to be trapped :) Does he crawl
below the ring or is he climbing over it ?
Suggestions: Maybe some more cockpit variations. Perhaps like the jedi
starfighter, the ship can leave the ring. This way you could design
different ships that are able to use the same ring.
Questions: Can you swoop it around with one hand ? And how often do you do
this with your space models ?
Flames: where ?
Comments: As always, a great design with a great website.

Anyway, this took about 6-7 hours to build on Saturday.  The ring required a
few revisions in order to increase strength and stiffness, and the
spring-loaded mount for the cockpit also took a while to work out.  I think it
turned out pretty good though...close to what I imagined, and it works fairly
well too.
