Socraticat Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The first time I posted this craft I was just testing around KSC. I did eventually fine tune it well enough for a "flight" to the runway. This is one of my favorite builds and achievements. It's not recent, but it fits the theme.

Socraticat Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 1 hour ago, Mikki said: Hey! And it wobbles terribly! Some parts seem to have less capacity for a stable joint. XS trusses and hubs seem to fall into this category, as well as docking ports. This craft started as an anatomical recreation of a spine made out of XS Hubs. Then I set it down horizontal and started adding bits to add muscle (fuel engine and intake), wings, and then struts to hold some sections firmer than others. The tail at the end is just reverb- the "flap" was unintentional at first, but I quickly embraced its whimsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang366 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I love your Kraken ! The flapping of its tail is so nice it feels alive. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
