I don't know how much it's been done, but I really dig the smooth floors. Way nice touch! Looking a lot like the Yamato, turrets are extra shooty. The white makes the interior more sterile like I think. Not sure I totally dig the all white, but untl (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Dan, I think what I love most about Dragonstar is the foreward fin ... gives the ship a naval feel! I love all the detailing, I was drooling over all of this stuff! I think Dragonstar has a very naval feel to it -- it actually, to me, embodies the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey Dan, This is just an amazing ship. It was great to see it in person on Saturday. One suggestion I have is that you should really get a website, or even just an account on MOCpages, just so we can get some commentary to go with the pictures (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Dan, I have a question for you. Looking at the photos (this one, in particular: (URL) I noticed what appears to be a door on the "neck" of the bridge. Is that what it is? Looks like it would intersect with the ladder access to the bridge. (22 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
