Hi all,

This one came as a result of trying to find a use for the Jedi Starfighter
canopy. I’d bought a few discounted Bionicle sets recently and started
holding some of the bits together with the canopy to see how they’d look.
This ship is the result.
It is a small expendable fighter, designed to be cheaply produced in mass
quantities. It is only lightly armed with twin forward mounted pulse lasers,
but what it lack in armament it makes up for in speed and agility. They are
ideally suited to attacking targets en masse inflicting the ‘death of a
thousand cuts’. They zip in, take a few pot shots and zip out of range again
before the enemy can even think about bringing their defences to bear. In
sufficient numbers they can soon render even the most formidable capital ship
defenceless in a matter of minutes.

I’m a fan of many elements of this Allister. Of course, the Bionicle smooshing
is the best...the shoulder guards, blades etc, but I really like how they’ve
been mounted...all at different or opposing vectors, on angles and so forth.
The engine cluster is just marvy, as is the hinge on the canopy.
My only criticism? The tired old horse of making the canopy ‘airtight’. This
canopy is particularily tough to work this into and I really like the angle of
it, making the seal nigh impossible to attain.
In no way does this take anything away from the super slick look of it
however...a nice piece of work, sir. :)
Cheers,
