The Cormorant debuted at BrickCon 08, but it’s 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.

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 I’ll 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)
