[Challenge 2] [Category A] The SF-47 Tsurugi-G
Blackhawk STX replied to mccoyed's topic in AG1 Archive
I WANT ONE!!! Seriously, this is awesome! Nearly took my breath away. The canopy hinge is downright inspired; a great solution for the "gap" problem I tend to run into. A beautiful build. I'd shake your hand if I could... -
Thank you! Hopefully many more to come!
-
Too funny! Love the story and the builds! Awesome job!
-
Wow! Nice insect vibe! Great job!
-
Great work, great story! Loved the Hiryu micro-build! Still looks imposing, even at that scale. Impressive!
-
Thank you! It was an experiment that seems to have worked out well!

Looks like we have a situation… It seems that some bug-eyed aliens are heading this way with the intent of causing some trouble. Boy do I feel sorry for them! I imagine that they have no idea of what they’re up against. We Humans love a good scrap, and we can give as well as we take. This should be interesting. One of the egg-heads back at HQ (Dardanel, I think) figured out that the alien’s tech was susceptible to some kind of ionic radiation or something. His idea was that if this radiation could be focused into a beam delivery form, it could potentially knock out a good portion of their systems. So, Operative Q designed an ion disruptor cannon and slapped two of them onto a space frame designed in record time (isn’t there supposed to be a safety review or shakedown flight before they throw it in the air?). The result of all this was… the Gremlin. Actually, it doesn’t look too shabby. It has good thrust, and is reasonably maneuverable, but those disruptor guns look really cool! I’d love to try them against some MANTIS Bugs, but they told me that they don’t affect our tech, just the aliens (in theory, anyway). Oh well. Bugs or bug-eyed creeps, there’s still a connection. That’s good enough for me. So I’ve been tagged to fly this crate. Apparently, the aliens have dispatched what looks like a raiding force, and we’re gonna meet them. I’m supposed to hit the lead ship with the Gremlin, taking down their screens and making a mess of their electronics, while the rest of the gang hits it with everything they could get into the air. I was chosen because of my “insane, even suicidal, recklessness.” Commander Turtle said I was the ideal pilot for this job because I could disrupt the dead from their eternal sleep. I’m not really sure what he meant by that. I get the feeling that it wasn’t meant to be a compliment. Well, no matter. I’ll just go out there and fly, fight, and win. Like always! Looks like it’s time. Gotta go! More later, when I get back… ---End Recording--- This is the second attempt in my "new direction" build style. It's admittedly not a sleek as the Kestrel, but I'm pleased with the result. C&C's welcome and appreciated!

Please transfer 43 credits to NuckELBurg. Thank you!

Thanks, Sal! Those barrels do tend to come in handy...
-
Great job here! I always look forward to seeing your builds!
-
VERY interesting design! Reminds me of the aerospace fighters from Battletech (did I just age myself?). Great job!

Thank you! I like how it turned out as well... Thanks! I've been trying to get away from how I built my previous ships, which usually involved using large plates as a base, so I'm pleased with the result here. I will take note of your recommendations and see how I can improve there. Considering the quality of your builds, I really appreciate your input! Thanks! Thank you very much! I hope to put out even better builds, and soon! Of course, improvement is a mix of time and experience, so we'll see how long it'll take... Yeah I like to try to put something... different in each build, if I can. This week was a SNOTty nose. Glad it worked! Thanks! I'm hoping it's the start of a trend... Thank you! Sometimes coming up with a good story can be as challenging as coming up with a good build. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep both going strong! After a two week hiatus, I'll be looking forward to your next build! Thank you!

The folding wheels on the vehicle are great! Cool landscape, too!
-
Great eruption! The lava looks great!
-
Great landscape! I like the flowers as well. The vehicles are well done: nice and compact.
-
Another awesome build. What else can I say?
-
Great story! And a phenomenal build as well! Too much fun!!
-
Wow! The track is impressive! The race cars are cool, too. Man, what else can I say?
-
Cool landscape (literally)! The footprints work really well. If I saw tentacles like those I'd waste no time showing my heels!
-
Whoah! Remind me to stay out of the way! Sweet truck! And the poor plog! Lol!
-
Thanks, all! I really appreciate your input!
-
Niiice! The treetop build is great! Heck, the tree is really well done. The skeletons at the base were a nice touch...
-
Nice build! The underwater scenes are great! Great job!
-
"A Winnebago with wings?" Great Spaceballs reference! Great build!
-
I like the use of the wedge pieces. I was wondering myself how to use those as wings...
