The Cormorant debuted at BrickCon 08, but its history goes back 9 years to a
post-Mindfest build inspired by my haul from that event. I ended up with a
bunch of wings with no matching pairs, so I built a ship to use them.
The first draft
...a bit refined...
...and rendered:
Fast forward to 2008, when Jordan and Zach post a
cool
contest idea on Classic-Space.com. I also found some
inspirational artwork
that I thought would work well with a multi-winged design. Props to
nnenn for accent color inspiration,
Pete Reid for inspiring geebly engine,
and Matthew ixlramp for the pentagonal construction technique. There are of
course a few of my own tricks added in there too, but Ill save those for later.

| I really like it. The five engine/wing is blended nicely into the design. I also like the fact that the wings aren't all the same, which gives a bit of assymetry to the symmetric design. :) (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.space, FTX)
