Chris,
This is totally the cat's ass... (can I say that?)
I *love* your designs and that cockpit/bridge is my favorite ("Aces High" is one
of my favorite Sandlin ships too - I'm totally ripping you guys off at some
point). I've been working on a PCS-esque fighter for some time, but some of the
weapons have been giving me problems. I'm getting inspired by what you have here
and elsewhere. Some day I hope to aspire to build such neat things.
Did you ever know that you're my hero...
[Insert Bette Midler's "The Wind Beneath My Wings" and prepare the Gag-Reflex]
Oh, and don't worry about the kid. It takes about a year or so to get back on
track. Although I haven't really recovered and TheBoy(tm) is almost 3. But if
you've got some dedicated work area YMMV. And a door would help. TheBoy(tm) will
lay waste to anything he can get his hands on at this point. I built him a copy
of 2147-Dragon Fly and he literally threw the plane across the kitchen because
it should fly.
Smashy-smashy...
Good luck!
