Nah, I think both the name and the form both make it much less innocent. Theres somthing I like about a central column with a wide opening at the end sorrounded by three large energy-generating arms... or maybe I’m just too paranoid. :)

No, really, its very cool and I like it a lot.
  
The pilot has no easy method of getting in and out, and the intention to put landing gear on the lower two arms was tossed aside as too difficult, but other than that I’m reasonably happy with the overall form, but mostly happy that the thing is just finished ;)

Ah, yes, those weird fighter pilots... they just seem to spawn right in their capsules, don’t they...

although, without directly taking off the entire dome, I guess it is next to impossible to provide an exit for the poor guys.

  
Yes, it’s another red/black build from me. That’s mainly due to me having the greatest variety of parts in those colours. I’m content to leave the flaunting of rare colours to those with more extensive collections/ less limited budgets :) Besides, I like red.

Red is cool. I actually have more grey, though. But grey is getting kind of boring, now. Color schemes like this really spice things up

Nice job. You’ve really improved a lot! Now, I need to get off my butt and start building.

Well, I’m actually hiding a little secret with me about sites... :)

(...) You're on to me :) Yes, I did at one point envision this being a somewhat more offensive craft. The exposed studs on the wings were going to be mounting points for all manner of ABS death. The clock on the wall displaying 2am put paid to that (...) (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

  MOC: Stinger
 
Hi all. Some time ago, inspired by some outstanding creations seen here, I purchased some duplo eggs without a clear idea of what I would do with them. After a few weeks I pulled one out and started building with it without a clear idea of where I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX) !
