(...) Jeez Eric, that's just plain massive on both size and inspiration. I've told tall tales of wanting to do something like this as an Imperial AT-AT construction yard. This is definitely the execution of those concepts put into work here. Can't (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Wow, that's massive! Very nicely done. I love the shape of the first floor/support pillars. The way they curve in and back out, and the empty space between them is very very nice. Is there any sort of appreciable interior on it? Like meeting (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) You certainly don't do things by halves, do you? This thing is Awesome, both in it's scale and in the details. It's like a hundred mocs in one, all held together by the largest lump of blue and grey lego I've seen in a good while. The 4x4 (...)

LegoMaster, this is awesome! Wow, the sheer scale of it just blows me away! The complexity and detail is stunning!

Yowsers! (As Inspector Gadget would exclaim). Thas one awe-inspiring creation... The scale impressess me, but its the sheer attention to detail that really excites...

You are out of control E. 2 Weeks?! Amazing, no matter how long (or short) a period of time it took to build. So many details...and minis running amok...and the scale...you could imprison a small child in that thing. Not that I'm suggesting that. (...)
