(URL) Click on Image This is just a small ship I've been working on the past few weeks. I tried to go in a completely different direction from my previous spaceship, the rather 'blah' Vanguard-Class Destroyer. So ya see... constructive criticism (...)

(...) Sure have... this is brilliant Mladen! Such an interesting small, unassuming ship. I love how you've crammed an interior into such a small space. Very nice. Really, I don't have much critisism here. Well, one small thing- just that when you (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Nice, very nice. At first glance, it's a very smooth and clean model. The various angles (studs on the side) you've used add a lot to it, and the angled sides keep it from being a box shape ship. The interior is very clean, maximized on a (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Ok, one, my head is hurting from the idea of thinking up that hull. Two, that thing is AWESOME! The little interior modules are really nifty. The overall design of this is just really cool. -Stefan- (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Mladen, it's too bad you had to go and ruin a perfectly great ship with such a jarringly bad detail.
