| Nice ship! The canopy, with this rounded shape, reminds me of the movie Dune, when the worm "space pilot" is seen in its container. The color scheme (sand-green and red bits) works very well. IMO sand green is a neutral color, a little bit sad, (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Chris this is a cool ship, with all the outstanding, unconventional design features that we have all come to appreciate from you. However, its too PCS looking for me, and I realize you addressed that issue in you post, but I'm still forced to ask (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) What I love the most about this thing is that, at least to me, it is a visual connection between Ryan's more organic JE-style, and Keith's more angular style. I disagree with Keith, I don't think this looks PCS at all. It feels to me like JE (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Heck, I can't remember the spellin' of the name of this ship without going back and lookin (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I think this picture shows the ship less "PCSly": (URL) The overall form has (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Chris, your models are always really easy to identify by your unique building style. As a couple guys have mentioned, this has a real PCS feel to it, meaning it has great coloring with perfect greebling and innovative parts use. I like your cockpit (...)
