Hi Andrew,
The Mantaclaw started life as a concept of a utility vehicle that would have
all of these arms unfold from its underbelly. The primary thruster area took
a few attempts to get right. It was orininally quite crowded but I decided
to simplify it lots just to keep the cleanness of the rest of the design.
I've grown quite fond of the thruster packs too :)
Thanks,
Zac

| (...) Zac, This ship is really great: neat function and design! I like the detailed yet uncrowded engines and the panel above them. I too think the thruster packs are spiffy. Keep up the excellent work! ciao&salaam -Andrew (24 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
