Whatever you do, don't try to build this in the order of the pieces in
the DAT file, that's just so you can see what it looks like :) I started
with the inside of the pentagonal portion, trying to find the right size
pieces to make a pentagon.  I did a little trig, but that didn't help
much.  I then added extra 1x6 beams, a bunch of bushings that I left out
of the DAT file because I'm lazy.  Then came the 1x2 and 1x6 bricks, 2xn
plates, and wings.  Last I built the cockpit, but I couldn't come up with
anything else interesting by that time :)

I'll play around with it a bit when I feel the need to procrastinate more
from filling in college applications :(

This is very cool, Bram! This ship gives new meaning to the word _star_fighter :-) I had to step through it in LDAOs Editor just to see how it was accomplished. As for suggestions, the only part of the model I wasn't thrilled with was what you did (...) (27 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
