(...) snip (...) Yep, saw this at the Hobby Show and was totally blown away. Having the Discovery and the Leonov sode by side was wonderful. The fact that you did them at the same scale was impressive as well. Lovely job! Dave K (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I loved this thing at Brickfest, and I'm glad to see you've finally got it posted online. It was really cool to see it alongside the Discovery too. Have you tried switching the power to a train regulator for shows yet? As for your issues with (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

This is absolutely awesome. Along with Discovery, they must be a sight to see together. The building techniques convey the appropriate sense of sheer size of the vessels, and the rotating habmodules on the Leonov are very neat. Amazing work! (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Cool, thanks! Here's a (URL) of them on display together at Brickfest. Someday I'll try and figure out a way of actually docking the Leonov to the Discovery. I think that would make for a pretty good display. J (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

This was so cool, that I stood next to it on public day at BF 04' and claimed it was mine. That is what happens when you leave your MOC unattended. Hope you don't mind. -Keith (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.space)

Way cool! It's really beyond the scope of my vocabulary of superlatives. Nice work. Now, about that wmv file - a few more seconds, and you could loop it. (another of those innocuous suggestions...) James Wilson Dallas, TX (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Nice idea about the video. I didn't even think about it. In fact a few seconds shorter would have the same effect, since it only needs to rotate 180 degrees to loop. Oh well, next time. Thanks for comments! J (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
