Spacecraft "Anastasia"
----------------------
Modelled using Imagine 2.0
--------------------------
by
Simon "Silly Bugger" Embley
---------------------------
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.

*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.
