Hello All, I called this MOC “Dual Pilot Fighter Plane”. I should probably work harder on naming my creations. This is the first model I have posted on the internet, so be nice to me :) There are 50 studs nose to tail, 32 studs at its widest point, (...)

Well, I think the name says it all myself. Although the pics are very yellowed, I could make out enough to say that I'm not particularly impressed with your moc. It really depends on what you were going for, unfortuantely you didn't give enough (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) I like the canopies sitting way back in the ship... although I bet it's a booger to land sitting that far back. Nice job, keep posting! Chris <>< (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) I have a cheap digital camra and have not figgured out how to get a pic without the yellowing. I was thinking about trying to take the pics outside on the next one. (...) Does my motivation change the quality or look of the model? (...) I'm (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) There's a nice array of weaponry and I like the side by side cockpits, especially. The silhouette is very good, too. Nice and narrow from the side and the front. I would have to think it would be quite difficult to visually spot in space, (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) Shawn, I like your model. It looks like it has an impressive array of weaponry, and I especially like the dual cockpit design. The landing gear looks OK, but I think the overall effect is better without it. (Then again, you'd retract it while (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

(...) My thoughts on that is since it is not a long range space craft or entering any atmosphere, there was no need for large engines. So on the undercarriage of the wings are black strips that are the thrusters, with the power generating part built (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

You may also want to put in back lighting too so you won't end up with too many shadows. Jude FUT lugnet.publish.photography (...)

(...) Very sleek. The colour scheme looks a bit like a "dazzle pattern" (as used on German Battleships in WW2), especially from the side, which is pretty neat. I don't ever remember seeing a twin canopy ship before..., it looks great! The only thing (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

Very cool! I like how you captured the "battered and used" appearance of SW vehicles (if you weren't trying to do that, good job, anyway!). I've always liked two-seaters, it's nice to think you'll have someone to talk to on those long patrols. Dave (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.sealug)

Here are some picture links: (3 URLs) Unfortunately, they're all detail shots, and the ship is upside down. The basic idea is to put together (...)

I do like the ones in the pictures, however, because they use the parts in two directions, which would give the ship a bit more stability than just (...)

(...) One thing that's not apparent from the pictures is that the hinge arrangement locks the landing gear from rotating -- it can only extend and retract. Which is not something you'd notice from just looking at it; you have to play with it to tell (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.michlug)
