Greetings, As I'm slowly trying to work out the larger pieces for a theme, the smaller bits seem to be making their way out of the bins first....must be a manifestation of my procrastination for the larger task at hand. Anyway, here is a preliminary (...) (22 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) You're thinking of Mark Sandlin's _Neverwhere_, I think--if you haven't seen it yet, go take a look. It's wonderfully inspiring, and still one of my two or three very favorite MOCs of all time (if not still my #1). I'll put it this way: If (...) (22 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

Thats it!!! Man...that was a while ago. That ship is a real beauty - amazingly innovative, especially with the swinging quarterpanel to reveal the main batteries. No wonder it made an impression. If you read this Mark, many thanks for the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

I'll say it again. Side mounted radar dishes look really cool. This is great. Super compact and simple. If I had that windshield piece I'd build this. And I completely mirror the comment about the snail. I also think it has a slight nautilus look as (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hey, I'm glad you liked it. I really like your shuttle. It's small enough and podlike enough that I think you could translate it into other types of vehicles as well... maybe like the Blacktron 2 spaceships. Just an idea. (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

Just caught this post when I did a backtrack search for EYOT! I don't think this was the model that did it (afterwards I discovered it was Mark Sandlin's Neverwhere that qued the synapses), but it is a spectacular one. Strange that I'm seeing it now (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
