(...) Well done, Janey! These MOCs are real tours de force to be reckoned with, except for TB4 (the proportions seem a bit wrong). Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Richie Dulin (19 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks Richie, you are right, I had to be able to squeeze it into the pod of T2... and it got a bit tight. Also the proportions for T3 are off as well, the 3 side arms should be longer, I will rectify that before displaying them at our Hobby (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hey Janey, Very cool. My favorite is probably the T1 - very interesting challenge to attach the wings to that body. Forgive me if I turn away from the MOC for a moment to ask about something else Is that a transparent 48x48 baseplate!?!? Where the (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Those are great! I also like TB2 the best. I should also note you did these in a very nice scale... it really lends itself to the style of MOC. I never liked TB3 in the show but your MOC improves it ; ) The only change I would make is to TB4, it (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks Bruce, I would have liked to have the wings "tuck" in, but at that scale it just looked way too messy, and yes, that is a clear baseplate, I got them on ebay. Janey "Red Brick" (19 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
