Some time, on or about, October 30th, I should be receiving a copy of "The GMAX Bible.

Hands down, the Gunstar!!!

Ditto! It may not have been the best movie made, but for virginal CGI, the graphics were pretty darn cool. I'm no modeler, but I wouldn't think it would be too hard to make. ("Although, "Death-Blossom" might be tricky)

I've seen a couple on here from The Thunderbirds Series but not all of them.
I also like the Gunstar.

Yes, the "Death Blossom" may be tricky. On the other hand, if I can get that to work, I might do a CFS2 version.  :)

But I don't think that would actually be too hard to do.  I imagine the "Death Blossom" effect could be achived by making an "invisable dead stop" spoiler on one side with another "invisable" or automatic elevator input to induce a pitch effect, followed by launching all the missile weapons in a rapid sequence.

I guess another way would be reverse thrust on one side, or killing all thrust on one side, plus the added pitch.  Reverse thrust on one side would probably work best for that method

You are my hero for even thinking about making it! All of your selections bring back great memories. I have a couple of fs9 models that look like they are performing 'Death Blossom' when I get them up to 100,000ft!

I'd love to see the Winnebago with a full VC, plus Barf sitting next to you!  Although it might have to be payware if you want to resurrect John Candy so he can pose for the modeling process!

Lol, I'm not sure I've heard of any of these.

Well, the "Batwing" is from the Batman movie that came out in the mid 80's and stared Micheal Keaton as Batman/Bruce Wayne

"Spaceballs" is a Mel Brooks movie that is mainly a parody of "Star Wars", but he pokes fun at a lot of genra icons, from "Star Trek" to "Planet of the Apes" and "Alien".

Tron II?!  :o I hope they don't screw that up! Imagine those light cycles with todays tech! 8-)
