Scale: Not stated My tale is that it showed up at the same space-race as all the others, but that none of pilots knew who, or what, was flying this ebon vehicle. Anyone who got close went insane. The craft, in my back story, is capable of multi-universe travel through the generation of a space-time pattern known only as keim. The Byakkhe are the only biologics capable of generating this pattern. At last report, it was seen entering the Hyades. The Model There are no model kits in that entry at all. In the rear view, you can see an upside down Toyota badge-holder from the plastic grill of a wrecked Toyota. The mid-body came from...a plastic coat-hanger, with the fork of clips at either end. Those I separated from the rest of the hanger, and glued together around a small plastic ball I found. |

The webbing/field-cage on the front is from the plastic thingy they use to keep turkey legs together. It is elliptical up front and two thin pieces run along either side--to which I attached nacelles which are the flattened plastic and form ink containers inside a big marker. I coated everything black. The result is a vessel with a lot of open spaces, and the illusion of being a very complex design. It's hard to tell which way is front. That, I am afraid, was deliberate. I wanted it to have the look of something no one had ever seen before. Image: Right/rear Image: Rear view Image: Front view Image: Left side (upside down, at that) |
