SWORD RE-IMAGINED and the winner is....

Well the competition has drawn to a close and ive made my decision - the winner which met the criteria most closely is the fabulous Moon Ranger 2, by Kim (philosophic toad). Kims schematic and thorough design (shown on the left) meant that it was a clear choice for me as so much thought had gone into the design of the vehicle. Recognisably SWORD with a modern feel and also a lot of consideration going into the details and the sheer functionality! Ive added an artist impression of Kims craft above to show off the schematic to full effect! Well done that man! Prize - the Lunar Exploration Scapbook - written and signed by our very own Darth - is en route and is in hyperspace as I write! You'll love it!

Well done Philosophic Toad! You'll need a display cabinet soon for all your prizes! Get ready for this weekend, there'll be one more prize you'll definately want to go with the rest of the silverware!

The design is excellent. Congratulations! It's origins are definitely recognizeable in the new design.

Well, I'm amazed I won. The book arrived today and it is quite something - really lavish. Robert Godwin has done an amazing job on this!

Thanks WOODSY and WOTAN for organising the competition.
