| | | | | (...) I really like that design. The cockpit's nice, and the angle of the cone pieces toward the back is cool. I also liked the Claim Jumper. -Andrew (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Many thanks Andrew. I noticed your post last week introducing some of your MOC's and your site. All are really well put together...the concepts behind both the Combat racing and RAM divsion seem like great jumping points to provide us all with some (...)

| | | | | Woa, that is a really interesting little ship. That angle it is at, the intakes, and the little pods at the sides, very nice. Quite original. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Many thanks Kyle...it came about after seeing the trailer for that upcoming Tom Cruise/Spielberg future cops n' robbers flick. The pursuit vechicles have that Slave 1-ish, semi-vertical orientation. Looks like a good movie actually.... Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | They're a large portion of the reason I'm going to see the movie. The official site has some good images of the hovercraft, and the "Making of" movies on the site have more information about them. I hope to build one, (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | This is a great little ship. Every picture reveals more of its weird shape. That landing cracks me up. (in a good way) The hatch is brilliant.

| | | | | | Many thanks Jon...the landing gear does give it a peculiar profile. I feel as if I should be painting the whole thing pink and plopping it on my grandparent's lawn beside the garden gnome! It actually was originally a stand for it that morphed into (...)

| | | | | | Thanks kindly Jamie...it was a fun one to build. The rear hatch is actually an experiment in putting together an access tunnel that would allow ships such as this to link up through a common module. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
