from Alpha Team Intel: One of our recon drones has spotted a Sea Monkey group: (URL) appears to be a patrol of some type. Currently, we have only sketchy information about the Sea Monkeys.

Nice job and it's good to finally get some more news on the Sea Monkeys, I feel there is much to be learned about/from this species! Major question though; What set features (...)

This one took a little time and ended up far different than I expected...the Squidfin was originally going to be a more literal squid deviant, but the fish body was something that I wanted to try out. It worked pretty well. And so the squid (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space)

The Squidfin is a beaut Joe....a scary beaut, but a beaut nonetheless. The black and orange really give it a menacing look - almost like a tigershark from the old Looney Toons. Excellent photography on the diorama as well. Cheers, -Gil (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space)

Joe, I really like that submarine. It makes a nice baby brother to your Nautilus. I also really like the way you're putting the diorama together with clear stands to make the Sea Monkeys "float". Very cool MOC. Bruce (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! The clear stands work surprisingly well for make things "float". What's good is that the SMs have a one stud point on thier body to attach the stands. And the resemblance to the Nautilus wasn't as intentional as you may think...but I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space)
