| Wow! I saw that earlier on BrickShelf. Very nice! Simple, elegant (the use of one main color, no printed slopes or bricks, not so many greebles), this ship looks very compact, pretty strong. Maybe massive... Cheers, JP. (21 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space)

Checking in at LAX with 7 travel cases (plus carry ons), the agent asks "What's in the bag?". I say "LEGO". Next (...) (21 years ago, 18-Feb-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX) !!
