Thanks so much Paul!  The intention of this guy was to go into mass
production to allow the a.c.e.r. Custodians a way to get as many troops to
the trouble as possible with overwhelming  force.

The small wing nose piece finally made this canopy useful for me with an
earlier ship.  Although the canopy looks great, it really has provided me
with quite a bit of frustration in getting it to work (kinda) in my MOCs.

The other element that helped out a lot was the split slope used in the
feet.  From the Geno Fighter sonic cannon.  And dark grey to boot :)

My PC is only slightly better than a Vic20, so CAD programmes are really not
in the picture.  I've posted some cross-sections to Brickshelf however for
those interested....the filenames are from 0008 to 0014

Fun little suckers...

Cheers,

the hinge/canopy connection on the nose

Greetings!

Presenting a.c.e.r.'s latest (and first) mobile armed platform.  Hopefully
the start of a trend, returning to this too long delayed line.
