Thanks for the kind words Paul!
It's funny that you mention the scale....I had originally intended this to
be a small unit, but the size of the cockpit was forced to be larger to use
the canopy - the real starting point of the craft. The engines were sitting
around in a half finished state to be used in a troop carrier (which will
still likely be). I just stuck them on when building the joint area to get
a sense of the clearances needed. When done, I thought they balanced out
the larger cockpit and they stayed. I'd still like to do something with the
cockpit area to fill it out.....either raise the seat or incorporate some
detailing above the pilot. I'm trying to build another scaled down version
and see how it turns out. The engine to frame ratio will be the same however.
Installing Photoshop this weekend...I'd like to use that shot as you've
suggested :)
Thanks again!
