Hi everyone, About two months ago, I built this MOC with Joel Kuester. I have been holding it until fleebnork.com debut, but my server is lame and won't allow the website code to work. So I'm just going to post here so you guys can check it out. (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space) !!

Mark, I really love this ship. I have been awaiting you next MOC with a gleam in my eye! From what I can see, the color scheme is really great. I especially like the shape! It looks to me like it's some kind of dinosaur-thing-a-ma-bob, with the (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) It's a simple matter of keeping the center of mass over the support base, in this case, the legs. Mark likely experimented to accomplish this, it's only a quaint matter of geometry and masses anyhow. (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks John. It's a simple matter of balance, really. The rear of the model is heavier than the front, and the feet are pretty long, so it stays upright. ~Grand Admiral (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Wow. I really agree that it looks kinda like a super-deformed dinosaur Bird-of-Prey kiwi. :) The shape is very... unique. I love the look of that long ramp going down the belly. And the interior looks great, too, although I would like to of seen (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Beautiful! A very predatory vessel. I'm always impressed by the number of features you manage to cram in your ships. Time to look into retractable weapons... Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 18-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Kudos to both of you! My favorite little detail is the hidden belly guns. Question: What is the cargo pod looking thing in the middle here? (URL) most amazing part is that you were able to integrate both of your work into one model. That's the (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Fantastic. I love the organic design. I would second trying to design a tail. It does fine without, but I think would add even more "life" to it. It's exciting to see a collaborative build. (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.space)
