| (...) Yay! I got it to look like Eastern Block! :) (...) Thanks. Due to the size of the ship, interior pics are kinda lacking without gutting the whole ship open like a fish. When I take it apart in the future i might get beter interior pics. Rick (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks. I wanted the armored look from the begining, and forgot that the Soviet era had those style things. Plus, the thruster pack is going to be redesigned, i don't know how yet, either with cones, your suggestion, or something else. Thanks (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks Keith. It's nice to know that the Eastern-Reich treaty is still strong and firm. With help from the ground power of the Reich, we can carve up all the galaxy. ;) Thanks for the things about the gaps and front. It's what I was aiming (...)

| | | | | Re: EBKD Korolev
|
| Overall a great ship! I love the bridge design with its navalish look to it. I also wil agree with a few of the other posters on the gaps and spaces- it gives the ship an armored look that was present during the high period of the Soviet era. I do (...)

| The red gear did not go undetected. The Eastern-Reich Treaty of 04, and ships like the Korolev, we'll carve up the galaxy like Poland in 39'. As for the Korolev, I think its true to the EB theme, and the much maligned gaps don't trouble me at all. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Did you wash the Goo Gone off afterwards? I do (by hand with a tiny amount of dish soap, though glass-cleaner will also work) because I don't like the slick oily feel, but I know that citrus-based cleaners will cloud the surface of ABS over (...)

| (...) Half of that. 1000 pounds. Think "compact car", or 1/10th of a Hummer, if you prefer. Consider the various systems that would have to be strapped onto the pilot. You start out with a frame designed to fit around a human body. You'd need (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: EBKD Korolev
|
| (...) The Korolev looks just like I would expect an Eastern Block frigate to look--kudos on hitting the theme really well. I really like the weapons array on the front, too. Not such a big fan of the thruster outlet, it just isn't nozzle-y enough (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I tried using Goo Gone and some other citrus-type remover, but I noticed the they often clouded the clear canisters up (I'm guessing that the citric acid in the remover eats away at the plastic surface slightly). The way I do it now leaves the (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Re: EBKD Korolev
|
| (...) Thanks. :) I do have a style of my own, don't I. ;-) (...) Never thought about it that way, the fact it does look armored because of those facts. Nice thoughts on vacu-forming. :) (...) I wanted contrast, and black didn't look right.while (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I based the protrude on front off the Sulaco of Aliens fame. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! And that was only a second resort after I couldnt get the original shape to work. :) (...) Yeah, but I don't like the look of smooth ships, But the gaps did need to be filled up. The way the ship is angled, it prevents the 2xN sections (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Dude, one ton? I'm not even considdering using enough armor to withstand an artillery or missle barrage. That's way to inconcieveable. That kind of PA wouldn't be woth the trouble.

| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) Okay, now you're just fantasizing. A human-sized PA would probably weigh at least half a ton, so it'd need a huge boost to get off the ground. To get enough boost for airlift that doesn't look sluggish, you're probably looking at having to (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
