Greetings! Here's a new Space Tanker I made: (2 URLs) It is a modular tanker for transporting chemicals across space. I'll be posting to MOCpages later with commentary. Enjoy! --Dan P.S. Props to Wayne Hussey for the idea of using 1 x 2 axle bricks (...) (19 years ago, 6-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

Hey Daniel, Super-Mega-Way-Hecka-Cool!! I love it, especially the almost blinding canary yellowness. These must be some seriously dangerous chemicals! The amount of studlessness and SNOT work is really impressive and that smooth cockpit is aces. I (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space)

Schweet! I can just see the Dragonstar blowing that poor, defenseless ship to bits! James Wilson Dallas, TX (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Beautiful stuff. The exterior has just the right amount of studs in all the right places too. I particularly like the engines - the trans blue works nicely against the yellow. Nice and restrained use of greebling too. Great ship! (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I was gonna ask about that actually - was there a reason you chose axles instead of pins? Maybe because you found pins werent strong enough to hold the complete ship together? It's just that I seem to have accumulated an over-supply of NxN (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Excellent as always, Dan! I like the modularity and the colour scheme, but sorta wish the front crew cabin was larger. It would be cool if you squeezed a small bed in there, like tractor trailers have. Keep up the great work. (URL) Mladen (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Holy moly! I love the white studs behind the trans-blue tiles in the engines. Very cool smoldering. Ramp is great, too. Is the grill floor feature new? I don't recall seeing piping and whatnot under a grate before. And I was just saying to myself, (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Over all it is a very pleasing ship to look at, I especially like the greeblies. My only reservation is with the underside, it appears to contrasts with the smoothness of the rest of the ship. -Brent (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) First I want to jump in line about how awesome this ship is! WOW! Great job Dan. Glad to *help*. In answer to the pin vs axle question - With lots of models, the pin connection is just fine. Better with NxN bricks with pins than Technic bricks (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I got the inspiration from "Aliens" and don't recall ever seeing it done with Lego. But I remember someone saying it (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful detailing! I'm curious about structural integrity. It looks like it is standing on its own feet- can you also pick it up by the middle and swoosh it? Woohoo! (2 URLs) Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Well, Dan I have to say "Wow!". Fortunately I do have more to say. I've taken some time to assimilate this one, and I see it as pure music. There are too many excellent details to speak of, all worthy of borrowing. It's the way they work together to (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
