The most dangerous thing in space – for ten seconds. Thank you, good find! Ron |

. . . is that an interface-capable firebase? Wow. Then again, this guy does excellent art in this line. |

Yeah I check this guys site every so often and add all his pictures to my "I've so got to scratch build and game with this" file. Robert |

Nice!
He also designed a middle or medium space torpedo boat:
I'd like to see his take on a light version. |
| Rich Bliss | 30 Jun 2013 6:59 p.m. PST |
Those torpedo boats are excellent. I'm thinking you could convert the torpedoes into spinal mount meson guns. |

This beastie remains my fave, but then again, I *am* guilty of having pestered him ever so nicely to create a "Space Battleship Richelieu:"
I just didn't expect the artists to add a *third* quadruple main gun turret… not that I'm complaining, mind you… Leland R. Erickson

What's the link to the home site for these pics? I remembering stumbling across it a few years ago, then lost the link during a computer update. Didn't know he was still updating! -Will |

Dunno. I think the racks should be expendable. Pop 'em out, and run. Scoot and shoot is even better for survivability. Wait, you use the word 'coward' like it's a bad thing… I'd like to see his take on a light version. 'Have you seen the size of our torpedoes? There is NO light version!' I see he made a most kewl calendar for 2013, the first half. Wonder if he just forgot about the rest… Doug |

'Have you seen the size of our torpedoes? There is NO light version!' I considered that. Probably little more than a cockpit and an engine strapped to a torpedo. But imagine his take on it! |

It looks like a flying Polaroid camera… Which is awesome on several levels. |
| TheBeast | 04 Jul 2013 10:50 a.m. PST |
Good gosh, it is! It's the SX-70 of Death! Doug |
| jpattern2 | 04 Jul 2013 1:16 p.m. PST |
Hah, you're right, it does look like a flying Polaroid SX-70! I bought one when they first came out, but I dumped it in a Goodwill bin decades ago. Probably a collector's item now. |
