(...) I'll be the first to admit that none of the Lego EP1 sets hold a candle to the MOCs that have been posted here.

(...) I certainly am not. Both the A-Wing and B-Wing are awful models, IMO. They are tiny, flimsy and rather ugly, especially when compared to just about every MOC I've seen of them. Of course, I'm biased because of my MOCs, which are two of the (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)
