You forgot Karim Nasser, or was he not a mentor. Check out his space stuff
here:
http://www.etymon.org/kn/pallas/main.html
I'm thinking that maybe Karim just hasn't posted recently enough for you to
see. You should check out the link section to my old site to see a cool
archive of space and mecha related lego models. A lot of this stuff has never
been posted to brickshelf, and has not been mentioned in this forum for some
time.

Here is the brickshelf archive of my stuff, in case you are intereseted ;)

Pat H answers: No I didn't forget him per se; the slideshow was made over
two months ago, before I became a LUGNET member. It is likely that I did not
see any space creations at that time under his name in the BrickShelf
member's gallery, or maybe he had no listing then. I'm only saying this
because I went through every single member's portfolio looking for anything
that even remotely resembled a spaceship.
The "mentor" thing shouldn't be taken too seriously; these were just the
orignal 29 people whose models appeared in the first slideshow, which was
never meant to be a static project in any event. That's why I'm doing the
expansion.
After looking at Karim's stuff, I must say I'm quite impressed. I think
this will really enhance the expansion slideshow. Do we know if he's OK with
this?

Pat H answers: Likewise bookmarked, and I'll have a look upon posting this.
Oh, by the way, I take it by the link to your old stuff that you live in
Austin or did at one time. I happen to live in north Austin, in case that
should mean anything.
Peace,
Pat (Hough)
