Whoa! I sure haven't seen *that* before. I'd remember it!

It's sort of like the anti-Spiffcraft. Or a vertical-flying

I think it means that the MOC rocks. This is easily my favourite
so far this year--and it's in a LOT of august company. Mark's just
handled the 'molluscness' so incredibly well--the 3/4 after view is
my favourite (neverwhere03.jpg), because it shows off the stepped
venting, and makes excellent use of the highly banal 4x9 tapered
biplane wings. The engines fill the open quarter extremely nicely,
and to round the open segment out, it's only fitting that this be
the first model I've seen that uses the new click-segments for
landing gear!
Why, it's even enough for me to overlook the fact that I'd been
planning to re-MOC _Suffren_ with some hemisphere siding next
year, and agree that this is by far the more impressive effort.
As for that sliding-panel weapons shield...excellent engineering.
If it locks down securely when not in use, I'm even that much more
impressed. If you're coming to BrickFest or something, make sure
you DO NOT TAKE THIS APART. I demand the right to 'whoooooosh' it
around, dagnabit, and since I'm almost 30 and should act more
maturely, I'll slap an injunction on you to preserve it! Don't
*make* me call Johnnie Cochran...(BIG grin, in case you didn't know.)
Anyways, Mark, superb job. My only possible suggestion would be
to 'roughen up' the flight profile--get some scaly-detail in the
section between the saucers so that the neat layering effect aft is
carried forward to the canopy joints. But MAN do I love that after
quarter-view!
Can we make a contest for this? Just for this one ship?
best
