 | | P-38 Entry: C--38 Cylon Lightning —Ryan Wood
|
| | | First off, I hope all you .spacers out there enjoyed your weekends, and I wish you have a productive week. This has been a busy weekend for me. On Friday afternoon I kicked myself out of my post-PDX funk and set myself a goal: build at least two (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Hi there Ryan, That's a fine ship you have here! First of all the pics you present in your building notes really help understanding your work, a nice plus IMO! I wish we could see more often this kind of post. Good idea you have to take pictures (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Thanks for the explainations Ryan! I am always amazed by the creativity shown here. One more SNOT (morve...) technic in my to-try-and-study note book! Cheers, JP. (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

If I had any criticisms it would be that you didn't seem to use any 3x12 wedge slopes! If not, I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Hey Ryan, very cool P-38 there! The shape is excellent and very accurate for the Cylon Raider. One suggestion would be a change of canopy. Although the one you used is more P-38 like, take a look at this one. Might help to keep the shape of Raider (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Great job Ryan, you get my vote so far for the coolest entry. The raider-shape is perfect, and you lost nothing with the integration of the engines. if you ditched the tail you probably wouldn't win, but it would look even better. The only flaw is (...)
