Simply beautiful. Saw it on Brickshelf, and just had to comment. It's very understated; the simple gray belies all that snotwork. I only have a few nitpicks: that landing gear could stand to be a bit more refined, and you should get one of those (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) haha - the round inverted slopes have haunted me. I ordered some on bricklink ages ago - and they didn't show up in a fluke. So I ordered some more and the same thing happened. I got sick of waiting and decided to photograph it without them - (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Jeff, This rocks, it somewhat reminds me of the liner next to the diner in the last Star Wars movie, shapewise at least. I don't know if I can give you any constructive criticism, as the whole thing looks great, nice and sleek from the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Very nice Jeff, very nice indeed. It has a nice design, with both a cool shape and plenty of functional elements. And I think that having lots of windows really helps to give it a civillian feel. The only criticism I can offer is that the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) The hatches are great, and the overhead compartments rock! I don't recall seeing a larger ship that is this studless. And it is done well, as you didn't just resort to tiles. That's what the SNOT is all about. The folding mechanism for the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Jeff, I find this moc satisfying in a way that only Charles Bronson films can. It seems more like a pleasure yacht than a space liner, but it is cool nonetheless. The placement of the windows, the stripped down greebles (damn I hate that word) and (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Overall I think it is a very nice MOC. I love the passenger windows and the overhead baggage compartments and all the other little details. After some thought though I do have some reservation with respect to the landing gear and the cockpit. The (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Overall very nice, but I think the engines need some work to live up to the rest of the ship. Other people mentioned the landing gear and I have to agree. It'd suck for that to fall over and break : ) -JSM (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.space)
