Patrick,
I too think all three creations are great! The deep-space vessel is AWESOME! I
too really like the circular form you've designed...pulled it off very well.
Those rings are spiffy! As for PCS, I think it would fall under PPCS (Post-Pre
Classic Space), as it seems to be more advanced (ie Futuron like). I actually
have a ship on the back burner of the same order...that is unless the Admiral
has his labs churn it out first (being away at school doesn't help either ;-).
The Ice Planet mech is a very cool lil bugger. I like the form and overall
design. Multiples of these guys would be a sight to see.
Now, I don't know if I missed the Triax or something but what a superb design!
Maybe I was too fascinated by the rest of your creations. You have seen Adrian's
figher of similar structure, right? I like the details, especially the use of
the "cart" part. ;-D
Alright, keep the cool stuff flowing. Thanks for showing.
-Andrew
