While many of you may think this may be too technological for (...) (24 years ago, 28-May-00, to lugnet.castle) !

| | | | | Hey Wilson, great job on that. Highly realistic, and believable. Wonderful interior, and great upper deck. I haven't thought of using FF tech, but it has a lot of possibility. I don't know if anyone collects and plays Warhammer or Warhammer 40K, but (...) (24 years ago, 28-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | Hi Wilson, I like the design of your ship, but I have one suggestion. IMO, your ship needs a trans-fluoro-green crystal piece right in the middle of your crystal room. It's like one you'd get in an Aquazone set (although those are chromed). I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
