Quote from: Old Wombat on April 12, 2023, 08:02:30 AMActually it's Kit's Second Law, his First Law states that "Any aircraft can be improved by fitting shorter wings, and/or a reduced fuselage", or something like that. ;)


NOTHING like that, the exact opposite in fact  ;D

A shortened fuselage would make the wings look longer!

But they wouldn't BE longer, which is vital part of the rule.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit

Quote from: zenrat on April 12, 2023, 05:45:51 AMWith the right backstory anything can be made to fit any GB theme (Kits first law pushed to the extreme).

The thing is and for me this is getting weird im having a hard time trying to think of a wiff 60s armoured vehicles...so many ideas and prototypes were made it's bloody difficult to come up with something which A . ..hasn't been thought of and B...something which doesn't end up going into the realm of stupid or SciFi .
I'd first thought this would have been easy..nope  :o
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
