(...) I like the swooshing through the monorail supports. AND that you built them partly using newer parts and partly old... I take it the camera was flying the same path as the ship it was following? Nice work. ++Lar (13 years ago, 13-Mar-12, to lugnet.org.ca.obb)

(...) That * was actually an *ahem* but FTX ate the rest. Sounds harsher without it. Ignore the word 'fans'. Very few non-AFOLs here or in Europe would call them LEGOs. Ergo not even close to 100%. (13 years ago, 12-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
