Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends....

A new PCS craft has just been deployed.  In this report we'll show the 1/B
configuration of the AGENA medium size cruiser.  The 1/B is a fleet support
craft designed to compliment the

She is quick and agile for a ship her size.  The 1/B config has side FRAP
cannons with 2 rapid fire micro Fraps, also 1 new Type 2 FRAP rifle on top
with 2 mini FRAPs on the side. (she's fulla FRAP). The 1/A configuration will
be published later when all scanning and recon equipment are declassified (ya

Notes:
Thanks to Mark Sandlin's <http://www.fleebnork.com/?m=aceshigh Aces High> for
inspiration (twas he who started the paradisa window craze) also DP9's

was a long build... dunno why.   The rear of the craft is not "done" to my
liking but I was ready to get it finished and published, and the greeblies
are kinda bland (oh check out those dinky PCS landing gears!).  I hope ya
like it though! I'm gonna be outta the MOC business fer a while... Life is
catchin up to this 33 year old I guess. With a

(yes, you heard it here folks :-D) and much happenin' with the church work,
building time is gettin difficult to find. The 2005 PCS season will be a
little light ;-)  space too ya!

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!
