Welcome aboard Bruce.  I see a major problem with your model...you are going to work very hard to top it!!!!!  What a heck of an intro.  That thing is absolutely gorgeous!   :wub:

The nose looks SO right, and the various fins and winglets are awesome.

I've been thinking hard about a Mars Colony fighter to go with an assault ship I built a few months ago...your design looks "alien" enough that it has me thinking of gathering the various unbuilt AV8B/GR.5s in the attic and going to work with the razor saw.  I'll be sure to credit the design to you if I do!

Again, great work and welcome!    :cheers:  
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

After further ogling of this model, it also reminds me a little of the obviously HArrier-inspired VTOL transport in the movie "Contact".

Excellent job buddy!

That's a sweet bird you have here!

Now that is a cool project!  I really like the overall design of the Loki!

I believe the term "KICKASS!" applies here :)

:wub: Er...expressive lot, aren't you? :wub:

Serious thanks People. Your feedback is all the more appreciated, given that I've seen the quality of the work that goes on in here.

Thats absolutely stunning  :wub: and the quality of the "build article" beats a lot of what you see in some mags - brilliant !

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

First off, welcome to the loony bin Bruce, you'rew goon fit in real well.  Now onto the Loki, all I can say is  JESUS CHRIST!!!WHAT A GORGEOUS LOOKING AIRCFAFT Simply stunning, and it looks soooooo right. Your build article, like Rad says, is far superior to some I have seen in the magazines! I also love the splinter cammo and your backstory is simply fantastic.
