(...) I really enjoyed this MOC, the piece usage was very creative (minifig arms as ribs, joints made of steer horns, I could go on), and you were very true to the miniature, as well. The pose sequence of going from a huddled-up state to (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hello Everyone, I had to reload Lview and MLCad to a new computer. I updated with lcad0404.exe, ran MKLIST, and scanned for parts from inside MLCad. When I go through the bricks category, I get error messages stating that I'm missing the following (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) My 2 cents: A tower is a tower is a tower. What should score is the hight, not the number of blocks that make up that hight. SO I'd score any three layer tower as a 3 blocks in the fabulous scoring sequence for hight points, even if each layer (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

"Building time : 3 hours" Soren you're killing me! For building such a thing I need at least 2 weeks, coming back to it, rebuilding, etc... Once again your color arrangement is very eye catching. You like sand blue, and you use it very nicely! Can (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Lenny, I really like the overall shape of this rocket. I really can see this retro style in there! Wonderfull MOC, although I would like it a little bit more rounded.
