Gaaaa. You beat meeeeeeeeeeeeee.
: ) Heh... my fault I didn't get off my butt and make one.
I think it looks really good. Did the 'thopters in the mini series have fans
on the two flaps? Either way I liked the way they were portraied in this
version of Dune and I like your rendition a lot.

| (...) Yeah, they ones from the miniseries did have large fans in the middle of the two flaps. I couldn't think of a good way to do 'em however so I left 'em out. -Bryan (URL) (24 years ago, 25-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)
