(...) I knew there was a good .space use for those 4x4 SW ball joints!! Very nice shuttle, IM-un-space-educated-O. Nice and compact, and it has a certain shape to it that appeals to me for some reason. ~Mike (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Very nice, Joe. Cute, compact and with some bumpy bits on top which go really well. Does the camera swivel? I think it would be a cooler feature if it did. Or maybe a detachable camera drone. And landing gear. ;-) Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

This is pretty cool, I like the shape. Does the back open? It looks like there is a hatch with a hinge, but I could be wrong. I like the color scheme. I'm a little worried that your sig-fig seems to have the same face as mine, though, I think TLC (...) (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hehehe...cool concept! But I guess this is an cheaper/older paparazzi ship...a camera that can neither tilt or rotate??? GRIN More please...more Bas (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Paul, here's the cam drones: (URL) and mounted: (URL) The drones are essentially cams with a thruster pack on them. I can always count on you to nudge me:) Joe (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
