Think TYPHOON. Two side-by-side cylinders.

I'm finishing the STINGRAY SD's and will get them off next week -- thanks for being patient with me, guys. And the PJ is on order so I'll be addressing the de-watering plumbing soon.

SUPERCAR. Deal me in! Clear-view on.

I'd buy a Supercar in a heartbeat. The only problem is a subdriver for the thing. It's awfully thin body wise.

Supercar huh! Funny that, I just watched the very first episode about an hour ago again and thought about it. The only thing putting me off was the canopy but now I can use the services of Capt Sci fi that wouldnt be a problem. Who knows Stingray finished first I think.

At this stage you have me believing we could pretty much make anything.... The Titanic

I barely remember Stingray but I do remember Supercar and Fireball XL-5. I have both in diecast. The Stingray is pretty neat though.

How about a SUPERCAR next? That would be cool as hell.

Well lets face it I'm no stranger to complexity am I now:biggrin:

No, no you are not.
My mom has a charm bracelet that I remember as a kid that had a fish charm on it. The fish is articulated and I think it would be a easy (laughing as I type this) to make Terror fish do that. The tail does not need to be used to turn (although it certainly could be used), the pectoral fins could be pushed out (like an oar) to facilitate a turn. Pardon me while I type a free flow of thoughts..... Diving would use the pectoral fins or the mouth opening to push the fish down. Surfacing I wonder if arching the back would work, for that matter maybe even diving especially since the head will have the propulsion. Hmmmmmm. I love the thought of the terror fish cruising around.
