Maybe this’ll be inspiration then :)

It’s amazing that you’ve thrown in FIVE non X/Y axis angles in this baby, all
to a great effect. Can I ask how you accomplished this feat? Clicks?
Magnets? Tension sockets? Small trained hamsters? Voodoo magic?
Inquiring builders want to know.

Duck tape and prayer.
Seriously, though, the 3 fins, made from all the quarter domes, are held in
their triangular shape with 1x5 plate finger hinges. Hanging from the dorsal
fin are a few bricks and the main 4x12 plate that’s basically the keel to the
ship. Upon that are 4x5 plate finger hinges that stick out between the dorsal
and side fins. from there the dark blue angled pieces are attached. On top of
(or underneath) the main dark blue angled blocks are lots more finger hinges to
get the slope for the front dark blue assemblies and the angle to the exhaust
fins. Underneath the dark blue assemblies are also attached with 1x5 hinge
plates to get the stud to stud direction change. The only direction change that
isn’t accomplished by finger hinges are the landing gear, which have a little
bit of click hinge action for stability.
It’s quite obvious to me that this description is not useful. If I remember
tonight I’ll take a detail shot or two before I go off to visit my parents for
the weekend. Otherwise, you’ll just have to come to brickfest and i can demo it
there.
