Actually the cockpit
section can attach to the engine in two ways. In these pictures the
big fucking gun is on the underside of the ship, which is how I designed
it. Actually configured with the BFG on the top looks a bit meaner.
The "x"
wings on the front had to be added after the rest of the ship was done,
I didn't want to add them at all, but I needed a midship gun mout and
a way to let the ship sit on it's belly in a more stable fashion.

It's
hard to see in the pics, but the center section of the engine pod can
actually rotate. There is no practical purpose to this, but I liked having
a round part in the center.
For about 10 minutes I toyed with the idea of having the cockpit and engine
pod rotate independently, but that was pretty early on & seemed to
make the ship horribly fragile. besideds I couldn't have mounted the BFG
on there if the cockpit rotated... at least not as easily or as sturdily. |
