Bram,
It took me ages to work out the small and simple ring in my Sol
clipper....if the time from concept to completion was only 7 hours, I salute
you....incredible stuff.
It took me a minute to realize that the centre unit travelled the inner
circumference of the ring. Wild design concept.
My only suggestion is the centre cockpit. I know that a thin profile fits
the 'thread the needle' look of the overall design, but it forces the pilot
to lie down in the seat. Perhaps if the canopy was made an opaque peice and
the pilot is intended to lie flat on his back and have all surface controls
on the 'roof'? Just an idea...
Everytime I see a Vulcan cruiser on 'Enterprise' I want to try a bigger
version of a ringed vessel. Some day..some day....
Amazing job.
Cheers,
-G
