Yep, I've seen your stuff before! I really like it. It spurred me on to
rebuild after my first big ship was destroyed during my move back to GA. Lots
of ebay buys have built up my blue brick supply. Anyway, the U.S.S. Crusader
is a Military Starship. It will have the ability to land on hostile worlds
(the wings yet to be built will fold up like a bird of prey) The crew on
board has a lightweight space suit on (the armor from the yellow castle) I
have a speacialized Space Marine unit that will travel with them. My
origninal website contains a bit of the story and universe I have been
tinkering with. http://members.aol.com/cgidd1 Got to the mission statement
under the Lego and UEDF page. There's an old sketch of the original Big ship
I built there.

Aw! I wrote a long explanation of this this morning in response... but it got
lost in posting or something. But you brought it down to 1 sentence and
explained it exactly. I used those curved ping pieces (6x6 and curved I
believe)on each corner.
