Very cool stuff, Gil! The overall shape is, as always, unique, and I like
the use of that new ball joint as a thruster. And the PCS feel is captured
well.
Critisisms? Well, I like everything except the landing gear. IMHO its a
bit too spindly, and it dosn't fit with the bulky body. If you made it
thicker and perhaps change the skid to something like a foot or dish- sort
of like the Eagle lander- it would look better. Also, I'm not shure I like
the tripod assembly- it looks good from some angles, but, especially from
the front, it leaves an empty space to the left of the MOC that might be
filled out with another leg or greeblie.
But still... a fine MOC as it is.
