Sweeeet. I particuarly like the, uh, fin things on the very outside edge,
they have a neat mix of smooth red and what looks like black hydraulic rams
or some such. I look forward to seeing more stuff from you.

Thanks for the compliments everyone...
hydraulic-like thingies was exactly what I was going for there ;) the
attachment is pretty tenuous, but as long as you don’t poke them, they hold
together.

I can see it now:
“The Crimson Star. Sleek. Powerful. Deadly. She inspires fear in the
hearts of her enemies. Just don’t poke the winglets.”
Heh. Seriously, how tenuous is tenuous? I didn’t see a good picture of the
link between those parts and the body.

The link is a 1x1 with horizontal clip attaching the 1x8 red plate to the
engine, set at an angle. Attached to this clip is a
1x1 with vertical clip. A
black light saber rod is connected into that clip, holding it into place fairly
well. A 1x1 cone is on the other end of the light saber rod, and that cone
presses up against a 1x2 slope attached normally to the outer edge of the 1x8
plate. The combination of clip and force against the slipe hold the hydraulic
dealy in place fairly well. However, normal handling when I’m too lazy to put
down the gear or set it down nicely tends to cause the winglets to drift around,
which removes the pressure on the slope, which means the hydraulic dealies come
out really easily ;)
I seem to remember being told not to poke any of the
bottom of the Orbiter, so at least its better than that ;)
