(URL) Click on Image This MOC was greatly inspired by the Gunstar (Mark Sandlin did a wicked model of it a while back, I was *so* jealous :-D) from the movie "The Last Starfighter". A lot of other influences are in this model also. Basically, I (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

That's really really cool. I like the mecha-style idea of having a ship with such a wonderful collection of toys, a bit like buying action figures and vehicles and getting all the guns and missiles. The pendulum cockpit with roll bar is great as (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Shweet. I like the "missile swarm" loadout myself, but I like the idea that you can swap out the missiles. You could even make an electronic countermeasures variant if you really wanted to get nutty. I'm not all that fond of the red with (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) In a word, KerBlam. In a few more, I really like the cockpit and the (what I assume are) small directional thrusters. Nice overall shape. I'm with Mark on the scheme - too McDonald's. Maybe just one or the other. Eh. And big huge kudos on the (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks William! (...) Thanks again. I'm really obsessed with the rounded bar piece; it's just so cool. I use it whenever I build a black MOC. :-D (...) Mmm... I love dark grey, and would have definitely used it in this model, however a lot of (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Far out Mladen! (both literally and spacially ;) ) You have captured my brain's concept of what a space missile boat would be like perfectly. Perfect size. Your usual groovy colour scheme. Other than the reconfigurable weapons loadout, My (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Thank you Mladen, I've been pondering how to make a rotating bubble cockpit for some gunner stations on a space B-52 bomber ship. Your solution is very cool. I agree with Mark though on the red and yellow, it's not my favorite color combination. (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Visual sensors are far less useful in space than on Earth anyhow.. :) Anyway, nice li'l (...) (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
