I continue to make good progress detailing the Assault Craft. Again the basic hull is from an Atlantis Toy. I've given details on the source of the parts I've used hivequeenandcountry.com/home Please let me know what people think. |

That Ornithopter is sweet. Makes Me want to watch Laputa: Castle in the Sky* again. *(Poor Miyazaki. He had no idea that Swift would name a flying super science city "the prostitute" in spanish. And Swift probably had no idea that long after his death a Japanese Animator would make a children's movie out of it.) |

As you correctly note Myiazaki didn't came up with that name "Laputa" comes from Swift's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS where, again, it was a flying island. And it's pronounced "LApouta" and not "LaPOuta", hence the similituda with the Spanish "La Puta" is only graphical, not phonetic. |
