 September 15, 2012 - 7:24pm | yeah, it made a SFman cover but long before that it was on one or more of the lost internet sites from circa 2000. I remember there being a discussion on it when it made an sfman cover that you didn't want to be the dralasite passenger when this vehicle made a hard left turn. Non the less its a good pic and you seem to have dug up a nicer version of it then what I recoverd from the internet archive. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

You can see more of Jim's work on his agents site; http://www.alisoneldred.com/ One of my fav's is the floating station, perfect for adventures around a gas-giant.  For inspiration on floating stations watch Starcom Space Force Episode 1. |

LOL I remember that, it was my little contribution --- I added a word balloon to the pic with the Dral shouting "Awright, no more hard left turns...my DOOR fell off!" |

September 17, 2012 - 6:32am | For whatever reason it reminds me of the Mel Gibson/James Garner "Maverik" film...where they're in the stage coach going out of control and Mel's character has to climb up and regain control, while Garner is talking about "I have to stay here and watch this WHEEL, it looks like it's about to fall off." |
