Battleblimp / Thunderbird 2 :P



Alright, so I saw an article about this military airship proposal. And it immediatley made me think of the wonderful 1960's era UK TV show Thunderbirds! . In particular, the shape and color scheme resemble Thunderbird 2 quite strongly. Coincidence, or Thunderbird-fan military contractors?

SAFS Fireball / Amazing Island






OK, so I have been pretty much obsessd with the Maschinen Krieger suits lately. Thus, I dug out a GameCube game I have, Amazing Island , AKA Kaiju no Shima. Yes, the game is aimed at kids, and the main game is actually pretty tedious. But! the "create-a-creature" function is fun, and has many options. In the past, I'd tried my hand at designing a Samus, Mega/RockMan, and a Scopedog (Votoms). None of them turned out very well. After a long period of not playig this game, I tried it out again the other day, unlocked a few more parts/options, and tried to make a Melusine suit from Maschinen Krieger. It too didn't work out so well. After a few more attempts, I managed to get the results you see above (sorry about the poor pic quality, they are dig.cam shots of my TV). It is a *somewhat* accurate Fireball .

Anyhow, using some of the other frames available in the game, I may attempt to get some of the other Ma.K suits going as well. :)
