Thanks! You know those Martian 'figs don't clip into the seats, so I had to
belt them in. Otherwise, they'd go flying around the interior of the ship
during the Whoosh Test, which was performed frequently during construction. The
Drop Test was also performed a couple of times, but not intentionally.
I felt that the landing gear design was kinda cliche, myself, but I am proud of
the wingtip engines. I had a bunch of those 2x2 hemisphere pieces courtesy of
Ogel and was very happy to find a way to use them.
I've got plans to build a couple more ships in the Martian fleet. Then I might
build a couple of ships to defend Earth, or to help the Martians attack Jupiter,
depending on how events unfold on the Red Planet. Stay tuned...
But right now, I'm living on the White Planet, so I've gotta go shovel out from
under about 2 feet of snow. (Snowblower kaput!)
