Let's remember the moral of this story folks, FOLs who build big and say they aren't going to do it again, lie. Sometimes intentional, sometimes not, but they lie everytime they say "never again." And dag gumb it, God bless em! Woof, double woof. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

first off.. beautiful! I'm a big fan and this only re-emphasizes my fan-dom. 2ndly: could i make a humble request? Perhaps a shot that is 'straight-on'? I'm interested in how you made the bottom, and what appears to be an interesting design (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey Dan, First off, I am so glad to see you're still around and active in building. That alone makes my visits to LUGNET that much better. :-) Secondly, this MOC is one hell of an amazing accomplishment. I'm seen your skills grow at an incredible (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

Dan, First off, I've got to commend you on your amazing work. I'm still relatively new to MOC's, having mainly a modified X-wing and a box of a moonbase attempt to show for it. I want to thank you for showing me why I should keep on trying. Because (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)
