I love how it turns from a ground consule to a gyrating spaceship.

I envision it kinda snaking and twisting its way through an atmosphere...
Heh heh -- you should see it dance!  Gyrate is a very appropriate word.  :-D

Which did you design first, the spacecraft or the laser turret?

First, I saw Mizner's cockpit ball and said to myself, "it will be mine...
oh YES it will be mine"

After that, I knew it was going to be some swivelly flying thing, and the
only thing that I could come up with that made sense was the cannon.  Once I
put the guns on, and addembled the gimbal, everything else just kinda fell
into place.  The body really is quite simple.  I hope to have more pics up
tomorrow that show all the tricks in there.

Cheers,
