To make this clear: I just deep-down dis-like pod walls. Yes, the tug is
a neat, no, awesome model. But for some un-explained reason I just strongly
dislike models based of those circular walls. I can't explain it. Although
I really do like the engine on it, the cockpit, and all of the fine details.
The reason I said the double cockpit craft was similar to the hopper was due
to the wings. Like the hopper, it has wide wings with a narrow body mounted
on top. Somehow, it just seems like it. That is, if I am indeed thinking
of the Hopper (carries cargo, small, made by Tony Hafner)?
About the "plain model issue", sometimes I do call very plain models good.
The reason for that is because I would not like to call soemone's model
stupid if they really think it is good. People like Mark, Tony, Mladen, and
certain others do not even need to be told how original, awesome, hoopy
(etc) their model is. When they build something, it is almost always
astounding. I thought I made it clear earlier in the "new positive
adjective" reply that there are too few words to describe some of these
models. Some things cannot be expressed with words, like how good the
design of the cargo bay in Tony's freignter is. After all, everyone is
entitled to their own opinion. And remember, when I called Mark's freighter
boring, I recieved lots of negative/neutral replies. Since then, I have
tried to keep any negative comments to myself. Reply to models however you
see fit, because I cannot, and will not, tell anyone how to.
