ok been working on this for a week nw but my internet has been down so could not post. Glad to see so many entrys for this one so heres mine. its a earth partol ship that has to go into space as well as flying around the earth. Its a one/two man pod like ship which hovers virtaucly in earth ordit or when fighting, but flys horizontaly when flying throw space.

Man its got bits of everything thrown in here. Robocop, battlestar Gal,stargate, starwars, heman, robotwars, I can see Little bits of each in my final design.

Tweetytunes - this is really looking excellent.

One area that is bothering me though is the bit that I have marked with red - I think they may be thrusters. They just a look a little blocky to me and out of place compared to the to rest of the model.

Keep up the good work mate. This is definitely a contender. user added image
