With all the new technology being displayed here recently, we have decided to
unveil some of our latest creations, lest they appear derivative.

The above is a gunship that ended up being geared toward the Eastern Block, due
to the colors of the materials available. It fills a roll similar to that of the
Hind gunship of today, this craft carries two turrets sporting two high-velocity
cannons each. The ship also has a  crew of two (pilot and gunner) and can
transport an elite insertion team of five soldiers into combat.

The second is a small fighter craft, built as a test-bed for triple-winged
technology.

Finally, we are in the process of developing an extreme long-range exploration
vessel for the PCS research divisions, and have so-far completed the
engine/research section.

PS I am still missing a few pieces for the gunship, and am not entirely happy
with the wing-shape of the tri-wing, I jsut wanted to make a triple winged ship.
Also, this is the first time I have tried to do linked images in a post here,
and it doesn't look right in the preview, even though the code is the same as in
other people's messages, I appologize if it doesn't work right.

(...) Good stuff! I love the EB ship... my only criticism is that it seems like the tail could use a bit more beef to it. (...) You have to select "FTX" from the menu above the message field. :) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
  Re: Two new craft
 
Hey, Good stuff. I especially like the way you constructed the wings on the tri-winged craft using the arched windows. We've seen a couple of MOCs using a lot of arched window elements like this lately, perhaps inspired by that new helicopter set? (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) This one reminds me a lot of the gunship from the SW flight sims. I don't know if this was involved in your design at all, but there's a new tri-beam that came in the Gigamesh Spybot (used for the wheel mounts) that's really useful in doing a (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
