Wooo Chris awesome model! I just look at it and my fingers start to twitch,
wanting to swoosh it.
|
Yeah...during the building I got delayed because I kept picking it up and
making podracer-type noises while my girlfriend looked on like my cheese had
slid off my cracker. :-)
|
Yeah, I can hear it! Those podracer sounds were the best part of whatever movie
that was. (you know, the one with the podracers in it ;-) But, one must test
for swooshability throughout the design/build process.

It’s been said before by others, but you have this way with landing gear
that’s just beautiful. I can’t do it, so when I see you pull it off time and
again I’m always amazed.
|
Thanks man. Again, all Jon’s influence. Feel free to swipe at will and put
it to good use.

The fins are what make this work (for me) as an EB racer... take those off
and I honestly would not agree with this being an Eastern Block craft. Great
work on those!
|
At first I didn’t have the fins. It was something a lot more square and
blocky, trying to get the EB style of mass-productionism (or something.) But
I just hated the way it looked, so I said what the hell and went a bit retro.
Turns out it payed off.
|
Ya gotta have fins! They pay off like nothing else.
| |
| |
Oh and I love the intakes.
|
That’s where this one started.
|
Great start and excellent follow through. I realy like the intersecting forms
and the echos of the intakes in the fins. Of course the landing gear rule
every sector... Very nicely done, Chris. Keep feeding us ideas.
Peace and sfx,
Professor Whateverly
