This is a freaking blast. Not only is it a smart looking ship in it's own right, but it's also a carrot! And let's not forget it contains the daily recommended dose of betacarotine :) Awesome. Cheers, -Gil (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Hey. I had to look at the MTA bus first! * These are becoming "cartoon scale" - not really a scale at all, but a style. Still very bricky. I can't get over how the SW minis are so not bricky. -Erik (...) exactly from my home, to Target (College Pt), (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

It looks like one of the new parts in 2003 is a tank track that is half the length. I zoomed in to the vehicle and brightened the picture from the 7419 LEGO Dragon Fortress. You can see the picture at (URL) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

All: Well, after building some tiny NYC landmarks, I decided to make some tiny cars to go with them. Tiny cars: (URL) all about 2x4 studs.)
