Yow! That thing would make a small star if it was really orbiting the planet, with light reflected and refracted in all sorts of ways. I guess they don't make clicky-hinges in trans colors? :) People who live in glass space stations REALLY shouldn't (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

I agree it's kind of ugly, but ... if you had some lights in that it might actually look spectacular in a dark room. Although the light might need to be real bright. (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Sid, For a most dramatic effect (if you still have the model together) I would recommend getting a flourescent blacklight and blasting your wonderful creation with it. Blacklight makes trans-orange and trans-antifreeze glow quite brightly. I love (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, it's not that ugly. A little garish, sure, but any rainbow warrior will enact that response. It's pretty cool, actually. I really like the massive antenna arrays. Adrian (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
