Greetings to one and all. Inspired by the current "Feedback" discussion, I bring to you one of my latest models -- sadly, due to my inability to model hoses and my inability to find the wheel rims, those parts of the model are removed. The hose (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

That's cool! The shape of the craft is very nice. The rising tail coupled with the two 'wing' pieces is very nice. And the placement of the engines is great too. Looks like a no-nonsense Starfighter, err, Starphyther. Too bad about the unavailabe (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey there, JHK! Thanks for the compliments! I tried to design this ship to be rather "thrown-together" looking, as the Carona is, after all, scrambling to rearm itself before the next Vortexian attack! I hope I succeeded. It's supposedly the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey that looks not too bad. I was always a sucker for those little single pilot fighter type ships. Nice work with the railings on the tail. It would be interesting to see the actual model, but CAD will do. Keep up the good work. Jamie (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Looking good Mark! Ever since the M-tron 6923 Particle Ionizer, I've always liked the concept of the futuristic helicopter...a design this seems to be in that category. The angles of the tail section break up the main beam of the ship nicely, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hi there, Gil! "Futuristic helicopters", or as I call them, "AtkCrafts", have always been some of my favorites. I based this model on my never-released Berinacie AtkCraft. Hahahahahahaha!! Flying stick! Very nice. Yep, it did that job quite nicely, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey Jamie! :) Yep, gotta love the small fighters. I know I do. It's probably because I don't have enough parts nor do I have any idea of how to build a capital ship. I happened to have those railings laying around from a parts-search (a search for (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) use of the tires. Can't say I dig the color scheme tho - I'm sure I'd be saying different if I saw this thing "in the brick". -Chris (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Thanks, Chris! As I said to Gil, I designed it based on the Berinacie AtkCraft, which was almost exactly like a helicopter with the rotors taken off and two directional-thrust ports added. In regard to the color-scheme, I was trying to express how (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hmm...that's a rather interesting model. Nice use of guard rails for the sides, as always, definitely like the sleek aerdynamic look complimented with the 4 x 7 cockpit parts. Need a few more pics, though. Great model! <<_Matt Hein_>> Fellow (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey Matt! Nice name. :) I'm glad you enjoy it! I'll make a note to do my best to preserve the cockpit design as un-modified as possable with these modifications I'm doing -- the nose folding down and such, and the modularity. Thanks, and I'll render (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Greetings to one and all! I return with more pictures of the New Carona Fleet: Starphyther, and with thanks to JHK for tipping me off about the hose generator in MLCad 3 (Which I still haven't completely figured out), here we go! (URL) your average (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Greetings, Paul! *Grins* I assume you're laughing about the "dolphin" render. Thanks for your compliments! I hope to be designing the Lost Berinacie units soon as well as more of the NCF's. The more MOCs, the better! My good friend Joe Frisch gave (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
