It swivels, it shoots...it scores.  Oh, and it also flies circles around its
hapless prey.  It's the... *DUHN* *DUHN* *DUHN* ...Suborbital Defender!

Thanks to Jonathan Mizner for letting me use the cockpit from his Redtail
model!  And as always, LMKWYT

Cheers,

(...) I like the feel of the model. I has a definite futuristic military feel as ground based artillary. The fact that it can also fly is just a bonus. What I really like though, is the ladder detail. I never thought of using tilt-bearing hinge tops (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Superbly marvellous! I feel that that style of fighter perfectly embodies what the futuristic fighter should look like. Beautiful work on the engines. Love the wing/engine arrangement. Great work fitting the gantry inboard! Keep up the good (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
  Re: Presenting the Suborbital Defender
 
That. Rocks. The color, the engines, the ladder, the guns... An absolutely awesome militaristic MOC. Is there any possibility we might get a chance to see the detail on the engines or the spot where the pod mount attaches to the pad? Also, how does (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: Presenting the Suborbital Defender
 
I like this model, yup, sure do... ;-) It has a very clean and "efficient" look to it. Everything that it needs to function is there; no superfluous parts. Anyways, good job Jeremy. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) That's really nice! I would be scared of it! I love how it turns from a ground consule to a gyrating spaceship. Which did you design first, the spacecraft or the laser turret? -JHK (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
  Re: Presenting the Suborbital Defender
 
(...) It is a nice space craft, indeed. It kind of reminds me mainly of three things. It reminds me of that guy who built that Babylon 5 (must not use shift button when writing numbers) space craft. It also reminds me, especially the front section, (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

It looks like something from an anime. Cool. (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

It looks great, Jeremy. Fast, dangerous, highly maneuverable. Love to see more ships like this. Alexander (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
  Deconstructing the Defender (Was: Presenting the Suborbital Defender)
 
I got a LOT of requests for instructions for this model. While I can't provide detailed instructions just yet, I did snap a few pics showing the techniques I used in making the Suborbital Defender. Check it out here: (URL) everyone for the kind and (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
  Re: Presenting the Suborbital Defender
 
Very nice....very nice indeed! It really pushes the functionality of the cockpit-as-weapon to new heights. Besides, it's just plain pretty. Cool. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

Sweeeet. I love it! Especially the big swivel laser cannon thing! So cool. And how it can attack and act as a defense platform! Disaster Master-- (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
