Description
Apparently, back when the Shadow Chronicles was being developed, the Ark Angel, the ship that our heroes end up commandeering to escape from the Haydonites, was conceived as a transformable "Shadow Dimension Colony Ship". This concept was of course dropped in favor of the non-transformable version we ended up with. Somewhere along the line, an image of that version came out, and not too long ago I came across it on one of the Robotech fan pages on facebook. Seeing it, I knew that I had to model it. So here's the version I ended up with. It's a combination of the original image, combined with the final version, with tweaks from Chiletrek 's version of the final design. I based it on the idea of a 4 part ship. The ship, as a whole is transformable, but can separate into 4 distinct parts. The two Daedalus style drop ships can separate and operate independently, or can link and become a medium destroyer. The main battle section from the main Sekiton Cannon to the bridge makes up main body of the ship, while the colony section, made from the waist of the ship down, can separate and either engage in combat, fold away or land on a planet. I'll show some pictures of the individual sections soon.
