-
- The "Anastasia", from the Dan Dare:Pilot of the Future stories by
- Frank Hampson, is Dan Dare's personal spacecraft, informally known as
- "Annie".
- It took a couple of days to model and sodding ages to get the cycle
- things working. That's one of the disadvantages of getting the AF Coverdisk
- version - no manual. But it works (sort of) and the cycle objects in this
- archive are:
- Various gear doors - They close
- Front gear - Retracts
- Rear gear, left and right - Retracts in a rather funky way
- Wings - fold back, with fins staying straight.
-
- There is a staging file with a basic anim set up to show the sequence.
- I made up the rear gear retract method, if you're wondering.
-
- To animate, just bung the AnnieMinusCycleBits object in and load all the
- moving parts around it.

- Which is the same shape as a witch riding a pig*.
-
- *Useless fact #1. Collect the set.
-
- Coming soon. Or not
- -------------------
- Enterprise - No, it still isn't finished. And won't be for a while at this
- rate.
-
- Dropship - Not even started.
-
- Airwolf - Perhaps
-
- Narn Heavy Cruiser - 50% complete. The Narn heavy cruiser from Babylon 5 is
- well known for getting stuffed in every battle it appears in.
- Pops out of hyperspace near Z'ha'dum - Stuffed by a Shadow Cruiser
- Attacks a Centauri Cruiser near B5 - Stuffs Centauri then explodes.
- Gorash Supply Center assault - Well and truly podgered.
- Season 2 final episode - Bits keep falling off.
- It's a pity, because it's one of the hardest (looking) ships around.

- -----------------------
- This archive is freely distributable, and must be kept intact. Anyone
- caught selling it or ripping it off will have their knees nailed together.
- Unless you're from Foundation Imaging, or Amiga Format, of course, in which
- case are there any jobs going? I don't take up much space and can be run on
- vegetable curry and Lilt.
- If used in anything, please give me a mention as it's author.
- That's the Anastasia model, by the way, and not vegetable curry. Or Lilt.
-
- To end on a serious note, Babylon 5 is the best series I have ever seen, and
- Deep Space 9 is a load of arse. Which is what a Ferengi has on its forehead.
