Hey Gil! I first saw the Krayt at FBTB, but I'll say it again...flat-out kick a$$ design! Once more, the color scheme is great for a Tatooine ship. After reading the text more closely, I now understand the inspiration behind the design. It seems Bib (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Wow! Thats a great ship. Tell Bib that he should have kept it instead of going to work for that fat slug, Jabba :). Excellent work as always. You keep up the tradition of keeping your moc's unique and set apart from the rest. Keep it up. How long (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Bey Bib, That's a sure strange ship of yours. It's the sort of thing that looks super interesting, but an animation of it in flight (i mean, done like ILM quality) would look super-amazing. Great idea on getting Toradoch Industries to make it for (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Many thanks Matt! My 2 favorite places in the SW lore are Tatooine and Hoth, so this one just had to be done. All the Tatooine vehicles seem either squat and bulking or very frail and wispy....almost like the vegetation...stout cacti or desert (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Thankye sir. Bib may just have the Krayt stored away should his arrangments with Jabba turn out to be less than favorable. How long can you find job satisfaction in feeding frogs to a giant worm? ;) Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hey, Bib- rockin' ride! I couldn't quite figure out what was going on in the landed configuration, but when I saw the flight config it all made sense. Very cool design! -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

That's cool. I don't know about the Star Wars story part (having never seen Star Wars) but I must say that it looks cool. It's a very unorthodox design that yet works well for it's intended purpose. All the details, and the use of slopes and tiles (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Very nice. I like to see moving bits on ships and this is pretty much all moving bits. I reckon it'd be a little unstable at 300mph though, but it'd look really cool doing it. The colours capture the Tatooine feeling really well, you just need a bit (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Totally...the thing is like flying Slinky. Unstable? The leading edge of the ship creates an aerodynamic foil, amplified by the duowhatzit projectors in the front, creating the Berkstrom Effect, thereby reducing the Flogizt factor by a series of 1.3 (...)
