And lastly, the invaders Saucer from the old TV show.
Fun little design. I loaded it up with tons of controls graphics and lighting, added an 'examination table' in one of the side chambers. I had the original model to make it from, measured everything out, including the walls inside the craft.
I have no idea how they got out. Surely a floor hatch as they would climb up a latter to get into the craft on the show.
Propultion is all hidden in the floor and ring like exterior hull area.
On this one, I made an airfile that flew very fast, but had no aileron / roll. So you would use rudder control and divert the direction. It was based on the 'gyro' principals that many say the round UFO's have. Some say there is a mechanism or drive that has objects racing around in a ring in the craft, so I figured it would handle like a big gyro toy, so thats why you had no aileron control. But you do have elevators, so if you get it out of axis, you can do a 90 degree turn, and use Elevator input to get your craft back to zero axis, then return to original heading.
The craft had the entire interior, but if you didnt have that walk around program, you could never make it to the rear compartment, which was pretty wild. Only screenshots could show you whats back there.
Fun craft to model.. The top was to have some odd lights that go back and fourth, intercepting at points. It didnt work right. arrgh.. .
Wouldnt it be cool to make one of these, slightly bigger, as a mountain cabin? You could park the car under it, have a bedroom, everything... You'd probably want to try to find a gigantic satelite dish antennae to make the rounded bell hull from to make it easier to construct..
