Awww, you mean he won't simply "beam" presents to everyone?
Love that Santa-craft! Is there a bit of the Star Trek "Scorpion" model in there?
:wub:
Yes, it's the oft cursed Polar Lights Scorpion kit used as the base. While my original intent was to use the warp engines from the 1/1000 PL Enterprise, now that PL is no more I'm in hoard mode on those. Scorpions, on the other hand, are plentiful and cheap...
Alvis 3.1
I was just over at ARC reading the stories - magnificent, Al! I'm totally in love with the Goose. A land-based Goose........mmmmmmmmm :wub: :wub: :wub:
Merry Xmas from Lana and myself!
These brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for sharing B) :)

What he said!
I would never, ever, stoop to accusing anyone here of stealing an idea of mine, but I have to mention this. I was looking at the pictures of Alvis' "Christmas Goose" when I remembered something.
I wrote a series of military scifi stories when I was in high school, set on a Terra-formed Mars. Most of them were Hammer's Slammers rip-offs, but one of my more imaginative ideas focused on a rescue mission. The rescuee was a costumed fellow who flew holiday gifts to families around the planet, using a modified C-130 as the delivery vehicle. I don't remember what the propulsion system was, but the modded -130 had eight engines, and the names of Santa's reindeer were painted on the nacelles. I haven't thought of those stories in years, but I saw the pix on ARC, and the memories flooded back to me.
I guess great minds do think alike.

Alvis,
Always love these.
Didn't get on the net yesterday so didn't see them till today.
Alvis, I really enjoyed these when I saw them over on ARC earlier! That Christmas Goose is awesome! You sir, are a true genius.

Thankies! The Goose didn't pan out the way I wanted to, as I was originally goinf with an all-white scheme with red hi vis panels, but just plain ole ran out of time! In the end tho, overall grey just looks right!
