HARDWARE USED: 
    Pentium 166 (really!) with a monitor that's 7 years old

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    My godfather (a fighter pilot in WW2) told me once that the
one thing that he remembered about flying on long patrols was the feeling of
loneliness and isolation.
This is a futuristic image of the last starfighter. In homage to my godfather
and his comrades-in-arms it has Spitfire wings.
I don't know if the gamma and contrast are correct for other peoples' machines
as my monitor gamma is off the scale and I have to guess what it really is.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    No special tricks involved, apart
from the macro in starship.inc which allows differential scaling of objects. I
worked it up in order to build the Spitfire wing shape with precisely one
object. It works!
