| | | Hi all, Well, the Evergreen was an amazingly fun and challenging build. So, I figured I'd try the pod thing again. The results: (URL) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Interesting... I like the removable mini-pod idea. I've got a bunch of ideas like that, the trouble is getting them to fit into the area contained in an 8x8 circle... Very nice pods! (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) Heh. Thanks Jeremy. The luggage thing was sort of an afterthought - I wanted the space for the minipod, and I thinks to myself, I thinks, "I wonder if I take off the webbed dishes". Then I thinks to myself, I thinks "Well, no need for a (...) (23 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Two pods for the price of one! That minipod is amazing...love it. The cross-section is amazing as well....you've really brought an economy to the design Chris....so few parts combining into such a fantastic looking pod. Bodes well of TLG ever does a (...)

| | | | | | Thanks Gil. It's just downright *hard* to fit a lot of pieces in that space, so I guess it comes easy to use few pieces. I'm constantly trying to bump up the piece count to get a little more detail, but then it doesn't look at good, with things (...) (23 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) I like it! The evergreen was good but this beats it hands down. I like the dual landing gear and the little retractable pod. I'm also a fan of the skinnier 2 stud wide pods and you seem to have mastered it :). Excellent work. Jamie (...) (23 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) Thanks Jamie. As I said, this was built with the idea of a minipod. I like the 2 stud wide pods too - the other ones are cool, but these look more...poddish. :-) With 2 pods under my belt, I'd hardly say I'd mastered anything, but thanks. (...)

| | | | Nice Pod, well made, articulate, and makes good use of available space. Now if you armed both the minipod and the main pod then you would have a pretty good military vessel. Even with light weaponry, the small minipod could antagonize light infantry (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | Thanks Erik. Maybe an armed minipod is in store for the future...I'm kicking around a few ideas. The main pod is armed, however. That's what all the greeblies on the sides are for. :-) -Chris (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
