So after a looooong lay off I am finally back to work. Bored on the road I needed to create something so I went and aquired a couple o these

So I basically combined both into these component parts

I will be putting the main parts into the primary hull today, more pics later.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Back! :)

The Tim Taylor solution for adding more power?

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #2 on:** October 07, 2012, 06:06:00 AM »

Yep definitely more power. I had originally visualized it as a sort of x wing design but after I got to playing around with the parts she ended up looking like this...

More like a dragster

Real men like puppies and are comfortable modeling with pink plastic kits.

Yep :) Like puppies and kittens

Also leaving her Pink. Although I will be applying the massive amount of Aztec decals included.

Wow is it ever great to see you back, Ron and working on a model! Star Trek based to boot!

Fantastic! More power is always a killer idea! She sure looks sleek and fast!

Hey thanks my brothers. It was a long depressing time being laid off and I was way uninspired. Stuff sucks much less now :)

. I'll be working in motel rooms again and working on this basic frame for a while but I will keep her going and keep her pink

Hi Ron - nice to see you back! :)

This thing looks great: can't wait to see it finished!

Great to have you back Ron!!!

Good to have you back, Ron! :)
These long-ish pods wouldn't look out of place on some mech or tank, making awesome railguns or something to that effect!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:27:04 PM »

Wait, guns...where are the guns?

Or does this speedy wonder do a "concealed carry"?

Hehehehehe...

Excellent....I like PINK!!

I'm always amazed at guys like you and Eddie who can transform shapes into something so viable/worthwhile. The cool thing about this latest concoction of yours, Ron, is that it could be ALL sorts of different things and at different scales: the next Bladerunner "Spinner" (flying cop car) in 1:24 scale or a fast Stellar Frigate in, say 1:600 scale. I'd like to see this same design in a digital camo finish of black and various greys/gun metals...how much would you charge to build me a second one that I could paint up?

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #17 on:** October 08, 2012, 05:04:29 AM »

Hey thanks all y'all

I am just happy to be inspired enough to actually build again.
B Da B the two black things at the nose are torpedo tubes The rest of the weapons are forthcoming

Bazz , of course ,to you there will be no charge.

:) I'll get right on it.

arkon · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:34:47 AM »

the chosen one has returned!

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2012, 11:14:39 AM »

Thanks Paper Master

I am honored :)
So there were only six original parts left on the sprues from both original models

I got it in my head (the voices told me) that I really needed to use every part from both models

So I had 4 little bladelike things that I added to the tips of the outriggers

That left me with these two big panels (+ two cut off discards)

Keeping with the whole diamondy shape thing I got going I cut and combined them like this

And then installed them like this

Ron, she looks great! I agree with JHM, this could be lot's of different things, very cool. I'm also glad to hear your back out in the workforce again. :)

Dr. YoKai · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2012, 02:36:49 AM »

Glad to see you're gainfully employed again...and I hear you've got a job, too

Nice to seee you back in action, Ron. The build is looking pretty cool.

Frank3k · « **Reply #22 on:** October 09, 2012, 04:41:07 AM »

Ron, this is a vast improvement over the original kit. I love the vanes at the rear!
Good to hear that you now have a means to buy more kits!

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2012, 08:33:44 AM »

Thanks all y'all

Yes it is soooo good to be back to work. :) My honey is much happier now too
