Nightfir said, "Now I have to find my model of the manta ver of the ship and render them with each other." Is it one you modeled yourself? There exists a downloadable version from the same modeler, Proctor (I believe), who "translated" Jeff Wayne's design to 3D format. Unfortunately, unlike the JW tripod that is quite accurate, his "Manta Ray" reproduction could be better. I shouldn't fault him, but I can only assume he worked from a single, famous publicity shot depicting the craft from a front 3/4 view slightly below. I guess he wasn't aware the machine is, in fact, shaped somewhat like a diamond or arrowhead, not like the vaguely boomerang symmetry he gave it. I am not yet that well skilled at creating flowing, organic shapes like the "Manta Ray" machine, so if someone has a model they'd like to share, well... ;-) Sincerely, Bill
