Hey sweet!

The whole thing feels really tight, I like that. The shape is really cool and like Gil said, the twin booms are really nicely incorporated.

Nice landing gear too, and the guns are sweet.

Cool stuff,

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 entries for the P-38 contest.

Here’s the first product of a weekend of work, what I envision a Cylon P-38 Lightning would look like:

What started off as a completely original moc soon became much more. As I was showing off the early work to some of the big kahunas, Adrian Drake pointed out that it looked sort of like a Cylon Raider from Battlestar Galactica. Well, I was inspired by that remark, and after a couple more tests with the shape of the ship, I zipped quickly through construction until I completed the model early Sunday morning (2 a.m... I swore I would not sleep until I finished it!)

It was originally grey w/ dark grey highlights, but during construction the ship really cried out for some color, and after deciding against the original colors and stripes of the P-38 I went with dark blue, out of personal taste.

Please let me know what you think! I’m interested in any and all comments/criticism about the ship! I learned a lot of things about building while at PDX, and put a couple techniques to use here (g-snot made most of it possible.)
