Wow, lots been going on lately, and I'm missing most of it.  Still digging
thru NWBrickCon pics and ogling Jeremy's Bug Bot Pod (thanks for the nod,
bro!  That's a sweet critter!)

So, in order to get back into the swing of things, I'll debut a pod I've had
built for a couple weeks (before *Adrian* made a two-pod pod.  Show-off :-).

The Gemini Dual Pod Bomber

Til then,

Pics from 1 up to 12.

This multi-role dualpod is the newest toy of Marine R&D.  It can operate as
a single-craft bomber, or the pods can separate and leave the ion bomb
magazine as a stand-alone remote control craft for kamikaze-style
operations, or to be "just another gun".

The pods are also armed with light blasters, and can land independantly.
When joined, the dualpod can land on either side with built in struts.

Enjoy,
-Chris

Hey! I thought we might have to call out the pod search and rescue for Mr. Maddison! Amazing return to the fray Chris....so much packed into such a little package. The shared bomb magazine is really a thing of beauty. How do the pods hook up? Is it (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Great Job Chris! It looks cool and the colors are good. The fact it can split in two is also cool (I've been using that word to much lately). Keep up the good work! Hasta La Vista, Sean (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Ahem... Neener neener neener! One of these days you'll beat me to the punch *hehe* (...) <snip> Now ain't that a cutie. The pod concept just keeps evolving into different shapes. Every time I think it's dead, someone comes up with another (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

That's really cool. I like the colors and the landing gear. I made a dualpod this weekend, but it turned out pretty differently. Hopefully I'll have pictures of it on Thursday. It's pretty clunky, though. Yours is very elegant. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
