Agatha and the Jason...tinkering with new vehicles for fun.

[Feinan]

*grin* I'm glad everybody is happy to see Chitty. She just seemed so right for Fenspace.And Benjamin is more than welcome to help with the Mallard. One reason for building her is that the cargo space will be useful in finishing up theYggdrasil over the next few years; there's still a LOT to be done inside, and being able to send a large cargo ship down to Earth will be durnuseful in getting some of the stuff I need. Another reason, of course, is love of the Goose.I'm lousy with Photoshop and similar programs, sadly...but this is a VERY rough idea of what the Mallard might look like in woodtones. The engines- I left them in black and white from the photo...but with Agatha being involved, it's hards to say what they'll look like. Lots of brass involved,I'll bet. *laugh* And gods only know what the plane will be like after handwaving. But...see what you think. Anybody out there a better hand withphotoediting that might want to play with this? The ship has a picture of a drake mallard in flight beneath the cockpit, with the bright green head and thewings showing the purple-blue feathers that mallards have in breeding season. The ship's name is below that in a nice fancy script, red outlined in blackto show up well. If anybody wants to play, contact me - I've got pictures of wood planks and of the Goose that I can send you.
