| | | | | (...) Wow. Very nice. The overall shape is very familiar, yet original. Nice job on the exterior greebles/sensors/weapons. Looks great. I especially like the way a splash of white and dk red contrast the grey and yellow. On to the interior, I love (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Wow, Soren, I just saw it on brickshelf, and I want the same! This ship is pure goodness! Smooth, studless, but it doesn't look like it was "forced" to be this way. I love the color scheme, the way colors are found on the ship : some bits of yellow (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Soren, beautiful moc! I love all the greebling in contrast to the smooth sides, and the underside tapering looks very sweet. It's a SHIP! That in itself is an awesome feat.
