Gotta love the deformity!  Very cool Chris.  It looks like a frustrating one
to build, but in the end it was well worth the aggravation - for us, the
viewer anyways :)

Cheers,

Hi all,

The pod trend continues.  First we had Gil doin' his thing, then Jamie
decides to morph some StarWars into the mix.  Then I get the idea of doing
the X-wing, pod style, and Travis Dickinson beats me to it.

But I prevail!  Here's my version:

I wanted to do a more compressed version of the X-Wing.  The most
challenging part was finding a good way to get the s-foils to move.  And I'm
still looking for a better one, 'cause this ship is about the flimsiest
non-swooshable thing I've ever built.

LMKWYT!

(...) Thanks Gil. Deformity is cool - I might want to try some more compressed stuff. But yeah, it was irritating. If my fingers had about 3 more joints in them, and were the size of tweezers, it might have been a bit better. -Chris (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
