What a clever design, from the JS intakes to the little landing gear, and the

yellow well, too. The overall shape of the ship bugs me, and I don’t know why
because it’s a cute shape and suits the parts used, it must just be my

Thanks Paul! As said upthread, this was a quick n’ dirty little thing just to
get my hands in the bricks again before I forgot how. I always liked how that
canopy was combined with the hinge plates vertically w/SNOT...just playing
around with it a couple nights ago it all just assembled itself really.
I agree with the problems with the shape...it’s too nose-heavy for the wings and
the overall length. I tried to visually stretch it a bit with the long, topside
slopes and such, but it loses the effect when viewed head on.
Once done, I thought to myself that I liked where it was going, but could be
expanded to scale. Then I looked at the clock and that settled that! A fun
little distraction....and I think the first thing I ever built ‘freehand’
without sketching it out first.
Thanks for the notes!
Cheers,
