Hi all,
Hot on the heels of my Jericho, I've got a new twist to the traditional
spacecraft.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=19128
Many planets in the universe have oceans on them; some are totally covered
with water. The Gourami is a next-generation ship built for the Space
Marines Research and Exploration Division. This underwater craft sports
twin-turbine engines to control it's vertical position, and a rear engine to
allow forward movement. Sensors all over the craft moniter flow,
temperature, chemical makeup, and other various water-y things.
The cockpit (yes, I know it's not airtight. Use your imagination. :-) seats
two, and has lots of little gizmos and buttons to play with. The
triple-windscreen design came to me while messing with them the other day; I
think it's the first time this has ever been done, at least that I've seen.
Also included is the small remote controlled bot, affectionatly named Earl.
Earl is deployed from the underside of the Gourami, and has his own engines,
sensors, cameras, and grabbing hands.
LMKWYT!
-Chris

| (...) Nice work, and for once you beat me to the punch with a design I was thinking of :) I had originally planned to use three LOM cockpits on the Blood Moon's shuttle, but decided it would take up too much space in the shuttle bay, so I scrapped (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| This is a super-clean little vessel Chris...the colours and streamlined shape really work with it's purpose. Also, I love when unconventional bits of other themes show up, in this case the Bionicle doodad on the dorsal hump. Just adds to that (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
