Hi All,

I have created a new little ship. I thought I would mention it and see what the
community thinks.

Here are my stipulations for this ship: I wanted to have a sliding canopy that
worked, plus i had the idea of using the clear radar dish from the SW Naboo
Swamp set. The ship also had to fit in a very confined space (which it does,
Whew!) and I wanted it to fold up somehow.
I appologize for the crummy pictures. I need to adjust the contrast a bit. I'll
work on them and repost them.

Greg, I really like your canopy idea, the clear radar dish is a stroke of
genius. I so rarely like the windscreen options TLC provides, it's nice to
see a combination that works.

The pictures are good, especially compared to mine (but I just bought a
higher resolution web cam, 800x600, and hope to retakew a few of mine).

I'm a big folded wing fan, and consider it almost mandatory for any ship
carried inside another. I'm not sure who first did it, it must have been
before the Corsair, maybe the Wildcat? Mad props to that designer.

(...) Thanks for the notes George. Actually right after I posted this message I went and cleared up the pic in Photoshop and reposted them. I use a good ol' fashions SLR camera and take my film to my local Camera store where I can get them put on a (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)
