| | | ... be they sailing ships or warships. Here's the results of some playing around with them: The Armadillo (URL) Armadon (URL) pictures are somewhat larger than I expected, so I hope they aren't too slow. Mediocre blurb follows. - Kenn ---...--- From (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space) !

| | | | | One question, that I bet everyone is dying to ask: how do the hulls of the Armadillo split apart? Awesome MOCs....the SNOT technique on both ships is incredible, just incredible. Can you give us some more interior shots of the Armadon? And what (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Yes! Please do! An amazing contraption that must be explained so the idea can be shamelessly 'borrowed' by myself and others! Great job on the them both...incredibly innovative features. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

There are two racks about a central pinion, with their motion guided by the new sliding pieces (like in the Star Wars droid carrier). A couple extra gears make it possible to open and close the (...)

| | | | | BWHAHA!! That is too cool! I love the Armadillo. It looks like you did some work with technic gears and steering elements to get the hull to split like that, am I right? But now you've given me another great idea too, I got ship hull bits in brown (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Excellent ideas here. I love both of them. The opening hull is brilliant on the Armadillo. I was originally shooting for this on my I-wing. It would have basically looked like a big flying prozac ;-) (closing up in battle mode). It was way way to (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
