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 hard for this non
gear-head to engineer the mechanism so small. Kudos to you for pulling it
off on this ship.
The larger ship is filled with all sorts of spacey goodness. Whats the stud
count? If its over 50 I'd like to add it to the sub-cap section.
Good stuff!

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.
