If anyone had ever owned the book "Beyond Lies the Wub", you've probably seen an aircraft that looks kinda similar to this one, currently a Free Stuff WIP. Although a Wub is actually a talking martian pig, the little spacecraft on the cover is rather inspiring (especially since he did it all in acrylics.) I wanted to take the basic design and improve upon it a little, to make it into a viable atmospheric exploration craft, or a commute-cruiser, or ...whatever in the realm of sci-fi. (Why? Because I see too many temples and not enough neat-o space stuff, that's why :) I've worked out the basic layout, and intend on making the engines poseable (VTOL style), as well as the tail flap, canopy, and (maybe) poseable landing skids of some sort (they may wind up fixed, though - not sure if I can pull off the synchronous doors and linkage in Poser.) Also, it will seat two comfortably, in tandem (once I get a cockpit built, that is.) Once that's done, I gotta go scare up a copy of UVMapper Pro to texture it properly, then it hits Free Stuff. /P
