The actual face building was made by expert sculptor, who is used by both interpol and anthropologists to create faces on found bones.

Rickets, dental caries, massive damage, etc are rare today.
And. Evolution affect also to Loroi, so they are little different now than soia era.

I can try to help "organize" once it's all formatted and try to subdivide it up into sections or something. Not sure if that would help Arioch, but at least it would be useful if it were a sort of canon guidebook of sorts that is a less organized systematic and picture-less insider thing...

That view of the Battle Cruiser is amazing. Very good perspective.

hi hi

For some reason, seeing Moonglow with that expression juxtaposed with the cruiser all off by itself, I kind of imagine her sanzai to be doing something like this: "sigh...I guess I'll fire over in that direction, though it really isn't going to make a difference. I mean, do you really think we can save the Winter Tide at this point? *Sigh* How did I get stuck in this strike group..." But I know that's not what she's really thinking.

But yes, that is a sweet looking spaceship. It is vying with the winter tide for my favorite now.

Edit: I also just noticed how it has a crescent moon symbol painted on it. Nice touch :)

Agreed, I just wish i could do that kind of perspective :(

but I'm not sure is the war cruiser, I thinks its the Vanguard battle cruiser, ( over top pulse cannons, many more PD lasers). but now I see more of the Tempests profile in the ship than just the outline in the insider article on loroi ship classes ( since the insider states the vanguard is base o the Tempest vortox Mk 2).

Ashrains, is a Katana class war cruiser ( last panel in the 79-80 page spread)

but it only matter if your in to outsider that much :roll: :arrow: :|

Tsunami is indeed a Vanguard-class battlecruiser. The BC design has been updated a bit since the last concept.

Definitely has a shorter "broadhead arrow" feeling to it than the original design.

hi hi

Woot! Those missile pods look awesome. I am surprised that they all made it to the separation point without getting hit, but I guess the Umiak are either not too concerned about them, or they really are focused on something more important for the big picture.

First part, are you revering to yourself or someone else ??

second, I wonder what Umiak doo-doo looks like. and I think their reaction is going to be this poor little cloen troops reaction is near the end of this video.

Well am pretty sure you can get an old battered Cadillac deville (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Cadillac-DeVille-/16 ... 2562735d83 or http://losangeles.ebayclassifieds.com/c ... ad=9996688) for a low price (2500 to 6000$.)

The paint job can be costy, from 5000 single coat to about 15 000$ but consider that you are rebuilding it so most of the stuck is out of the way and it easier/less costly for the painter and also if you do all the sanding/masking am sure you can reduce the price.

add to that normal repair about what 2500 if it really really battered.
Replace the engine for a modern more efficient and more durable one. add about 5000$ (3500+install)

Plus the aesthetics modification. am pretty generous and give your a 5000$

For a grand total of 20 000$ to 33 500$. consider that you will be looking for part and stuff you might get it for cheaper than that.

So you get it for the price of a normal car. so no need to win the lottery just live up your dream!.

:? nah. Those deVilles aren't bulbous enough. It need to be Cadillac 1948, 1960 or Chevy Bel-Air 1957.
I live in north-east europe, where summer is only two week long and I don't have driver license, so I don't have much use for it.
But I should make like him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjEKi9D2hh0) and just convert my bicycle.
