Is it just me, or does the 2 man ATV remind anyone else of the V.A.M.P. from G.I. Joe (A.R.A.H. natch'!)...I may have to comandeer that idea and play with some Joe MOCs soon. Yo Joe! Nice work, as usual, Mark. Matt (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

But Clutch was gen-one A.R.A.H. ...Crankcase was just a poser! And when it comes right down to it, slap Rock 'n' Roll on the R.A.M. and let him rip it up...that's all you need (yes, Rock 'n' Roll was my fav gen-one Joe)! Matt (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Wow, That is a freakin cool hatch. I LOVE IT!!!! Oh... and I guess the rest of it is OK as well. ; ) Seriously. I really like this Transport. It really has some nice lines. I'll have to keep it in mind for technique fodder. Todd Trotter (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Kyle, Looks to me like he just used half of a canister (port side) and just built up the starbord side using slopes and stuff. Very nicely done. But yes, a closeup photo showing how it was incorporated would be cool. Todd Trotter (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

Awwwyeah! Once again, nothin' but mad props for the M-Dogg! I was a little slow on checking this one out, sorry Dogg. Those engines really caught my eye, I dig all the vents and slats. Good overall shape on this one, kind of a mixture of sleekness, (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yep, I just stuck the half-canister on the side of the nose section by using a couple of headlight bricks. There are a few 2x2 inverse slopes beneath to slope it back up to the underside of the fuselage. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

Woah, very cool. One of the first things I thought when I saw this was "Thats very Sandlinesque" This is of course a good thing. Love the front. Love those swivveling side guns. Love it all. Very tight construction. -Jon "Mark Sandlin" (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yes, it certainly does! Especially now that it comes in black as well as green (and also in yellow.. ugh). That vtol dropship looks really cool... reminds me of a V-22 Osprey (with jets instead of props, of course). Mark W. (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Awesome! Way cool rendition. I'd like to see more detail of your undercarriage if you get the pics. I also like the way you incorporated that sight-hound-style (space contest) side hatch. VERY nice! :^D Now I want to make one! ~Trev (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)
