| Here's the tiny Teardrop: (4 URLs) I'm very happy with the appearance, but the features are lacking. The landing gear is of questionable stability and the canopy doesn't open- and with 8 studs of binding surface and no good edges to grab, it's (...)

| (...) Hmmm...well, I like the shape and the landing gear... ...but... ...IMHO... I HATE THE COLORS! Sorry to be blunt, but none of them seem to match one another and the trans-red canopy look waaa...aaay out of place. I think the ship would look (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I don't like the way that the gray parts and the white ones are isolated from eachother though. I think it might behoove (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Wow... two responses so far, and they're both complaining about the colors. I'd probably just dismiss it if you didn't both mention it in no uncertain terms.

If the entire ship was only while with black engines, then trans-red would look (...) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Three of my MOCs have just such an opening canopy, in a similar size range (using two different solutions). I guess I'll (...) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That would be the big curvy slope, right? (...) Sure, I'll take that bait... The problem is not that you can't make opening canopies, it's just that you have to overengineer it to do so. The old canopies had areas that didn't have binding (...) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
