Hi all,
Here’s the result of my latest tinkering. This is a prototype, and I’m still
exploring color schemes. Likely the windscreens will be switched to trans
dark-blue, for one change. Not sure I like having two CS logos side-by-side on
the front. Still thinking about what to do there.
I try to work as closely to the style of Classic Space as I can, while exploring
different designs. I particularly like, and am inspired by, LL 918 and LL 924,
for they both fit neatly on the old landing-pad plate (LL 928 seemed a bit large
for the plate). Though I’ve enjoyed all the giant custom space ships I’ve seen,
I really like working at “playable” scales (a model that can be carried), and
enjoy the challenge of trying to add as many features as possible in a small
package.
In the case of my LL 944, I was striving for something that fit neatly on the
landing pad, and could hold more than one or two of the 924 “coolers”. Five to
seven of the more modern cargo containers fit in the back. Or, the freighter has
removable seats (like many minivans of today) that can fit in the cargo area for
about five passengers (on top of the two crew)--I actually haven’t put that many
people in there yet, so it hasn’t been tested. Two of these seats fit in the
rear doors--it takes a trusting sort to ride there. ;O)
Have a Merry and a Happy!
Wolf
