The Harbinger - Planetary Mining Machine

[Blitzkriegsler]

Hey guys,

I have finished building the planetary mining machine I have been working on through my last few episodes of my LP. The ship is a combination of the Normandy SR-2 and a P-51 Mustang. You can watch the cinematic video I released for my 200 sub special here:

That thing is super intimidating. I could easily imagine that thing just slowly rotating and mining out a space station as its inhabitants freak out and try to stop it, only to get mulched by the ship\'s fighter escort. And all the while, this monster is just slowly spinning overhead, dissolving the home of thousands. Slap some Epic Trailer Music on that video and you have a textbook sci-fi horror sequence.

That\'s a strange shape for a salvage ship, what with the deadzone in the middle.

The deadzone is to keep an area in the middle while you are rotating to help keep the ship in the proper direction. I also wanted to see out the front glass while being in the captains area.
