    THANK YOU! You finally triggered my brain to realize what the Komplex ships reminded me of.
    At first I though "Reaver" ships from Serenity/Firefly, but they're a little too "wingy" to as close to Reaver ships as my brain thought.
    But then I remembered back to a game I used to play in college: Freespace/Freespace 2.
    These Komplex ships absolutely make me think of the Shivan ships from that game. Or I guess if the Reaver ships and the Shivan ships had offspring. Ha!

    Picked up the Lancer today. Neat little ship. Ordered the White Tank and $15 red ship. Should be here Thursday.

    I only have the sabre set because shipping is a bit expensive for Europe.

    I did manage to make 2 custom aircraft out of this 1 set:
    20200811_130847.jpg
    on the left a stealth glider, no engines so it would need to be launched.
    on the right a missile drone, useful for defending outposts.

    and a photo of the underside if you want to replicate these:

    Ymmv, but I just got a Scarab from a local Target for $5 on clearance. They had one more at that price, but none of the other ships were marked down.

    My latest custom builds, and I also recently picked up an Artbin to organize parts, which is incredibly helpful:

    I found the Scarab on clearance at Target for 7.99. Was curious to check out this line. Definitely impressed and will grab a few more to see what I can create.
