 | | Volkswagen B3 —Eric Joslin

| | | Having recently acquired a digital camera, I want to start documenting some MOCs I've had sitting around for a while. The first one can be found here: (URL) feel free to tell me not only what you think about the model, but about the presentation as (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.space) !

Yeah, unfortunately I took them at about 11:30 last night, so the only light I had was the halogen lamp in my (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) Yup! On this slightly disorganized page: (URL) didn't really care for making it, umm, organized. ;-) (...) The shots look pretty good to me, just that I would never guess it was yellow if I didn't remember the model from April. ;-) -Shiri (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) Heh. That's cool. I love MOCs that give you that little "slice of life" in Space. I love the doors that double as boarding ramps, and the way the hover-jets swivel in the front. I generally like stuff that moves and opens tho ;^) Very nice! (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

Yeah, well, I needed it to be interstellar for the purposes of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) So, your world bases its spacefaring technology on something similar to Jumpgate technology from Babylon 5? That always seemed one of the more reasonable ways to get from point A to point B. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

Well, my point was that they're all _possible_ ways, and because their pseudo-science leans so heavily toward the "pseudo" then there's lots of creative fun to be had imagining reasons why it was "the way it (...)

If it takes you years / decades / centuries to get there, it would still make exploration and expansion painfully slow. But of course once you've (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)

Either type of ship can use jump gates. However, niether kind of ship likes (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.space)
