| | | Check out our latest MOC from our homepage, Manta Airspeeder; (URL) have been in the Speeder Chase diorama but I didn't have the pieces to build it. The design was based from an AOTC book which had concept art drawings of an airspeeder that looked (...)

| | | | | (...) I like it!! Looks so dark and menacing. I'd love to see what the underside looks like....appears to have engines mounted under the dishes. The only suggestion I might put forward is to smooth out the area behind the cockpit a bit...perhaps (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Gil, Thanks for the compliments! (...) I'll try to get some pics of the underside later and yes those are engine exhausts underneath. (...) I did try some of the longer slopes but they didn't exactly match the angle of the tail piece so that got (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) Nice looking speeder..the canopy is almost meant to fit on the top of the quarter domes! And it does have an aquatic look about (tho to me it reminds me of a horseshoe crab), or even a retro look. And I want to see the bottom too:) Good job! (...)

| | | | | | Joe, (...) I was kinda surprised also when I fitted the canopy on the quarter domes that it gave the sleek look that I wanted. I see what you mean about the horshoe crab appearance from the top view. Maybe with some refinements such as weaponry (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)

| | | | | | (...) Wow, it really does have a horsehoe crab feel on the bottom. While Ogel wouldn't mind having this, I tend to think that this might be cool for the Sea Monkeys for a land invasion craft...with appropriate refinements:) Joe Meno (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)

| | | | | | (...) Be my guest in doing refinements to this craft as a Sea Monkeys vehicle. I didn't want to do too much detailing at the bottom since it's for non-military use. The only details that you'll see if you look closely enough are the two back flaps, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)

| | | | (...) Positively love that design...great shape, great detailing, and great photography. Most pictures of all-black models come out hard to define details and painful to the eye. You've done a terrific job in both making a really cool model, and (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) Thanks for the compliments! It's doubly hard to get pictures of dark colored models specially the black ones. As you can see from the shadows, I've used three different light sources to blend and get the pictures at the correct angles where (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
