  MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Greetings! A first try at the monthly seed part....not an easy one to use, Jon! (URL) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space) ! 
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Oooh, cool beans. I've been wondering how long it'd take for the seed part to be uh, seeded, or something. I like the asymetric and the chrome, mmmmm, chrome. (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
(...) Heh! I hadn't even noticed that my idea had been incorporated. Whoda thunk it. That's a nifty little craft you have there. Kinda reminds me of some of the stuff made during the hovership craze. Too bad I don't have the bandwidth to post (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Now that is an O-riginal ship. I love it. Refreshing to see some asymetrical ships. (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Good work on using the seed part of the month. It blends in quite well. As always you've developed a unique design. Where do you get your inspiration from? Your turning out some good MOC's lately. Keep up the good work. Jamie (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Very Nice! The greeblies are nice, and the dark gray color scheme is awesome. The cockpit is great, and the silver cilynder is cool, too. Arr, no we got some competitors! -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Thankye, kind sir. I thought I'd better take a swing at it before it changed up to an even more difficult part! I'm convinced that chrome looks good on nearly anything. If it were socially acceptable, I've have myself chromed. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
I know! I Just saw it this past Monday. That moderator guy...must be 24/7. After I read your post, I took a look back to the hovership (thing) posts...it really does look like part of the crew. Some great designs came out of that run - will be going (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Thanks Anne! The seed part is a new feature of the .space forum. Suggested by Adrian, a part is chosen each month and is featured on the splash page about 2/3 of the way down on the left side. The challenge is to use the part in an MOC during it's (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Many thanks James! I seem to be really hooked on the asymetrical concept these days. It's fun to make it such, yet try to balance it visually so it doesn't look lobsided or too gangly. When I was looking at this afterward on my desk, it brought up (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
Thanks for the kudos Jamie...very encouraging! It wasn't an easy part to use...it seems to be molded to be awkward. Inspiration for this one came from a couple places. The pod racers of SW EpI are evident in the design, but strangely enough the part (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
That dark grey really does look nice when it's all together...this is my first model using it as the base colour. When saw it for the first time on one of Jon's Alphabet fighters (U, I think?), it really stuck with me. As the seed part was dkgray, I (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: MOC: PE-1 Duster (seed part)
 
(...) Pretty cool Gil. The assymetry of it is downright...weird. :-) Looks wicked-fast tho. The pilot just better hope he doesn't hit anything - this thing looks like it'd be a very fast fireball if it so much as lovetapped something. -Chris (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
