| | | | | commence jaw droppage! Ryan, I truly don't have the words to express just how cool this model really is. I think I'll have to study it for a few hours before I can write up a truly coherant response. All I can sey is: visors! more later, -Dave (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

During the course of buying parts on bricklink, I found that newer tires (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Much thanks, Soren. You speak of the averageness of the exterior, and I'll be honest, I agree. Nothing incredibly new or fancy to it, just a lot of slopes and antennaes and pods. Pretty simple stuff. Thanks for your kind words about the (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Although we've all seen the Matrix inspired ships here before, what I love particularily about this one is that you've used it for a frame to hang what is essentially a mobile playset, using a great interior (...)
