(...) Thanks Joe! The attack sub was conceived at about the same time of Ogel's Gyro Sub which used the same Duplo egg though with very different designs. The outpost had to be mobile but inconspicuous to blend with the aquatic surroundings and (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone, FTX)

(...) I really like the pod craft. While generally regard the Duplo egg as a limited application part, you did a great job using it! The octopus craft is neat too, and I see it as a mobile crane to transport items. Pretty cool design approach. Good (...)

Brad, Thanks for the compliments! That's from a Duplo egg which came out a couple years ago. I've also used a red one for another MOC. (URL) Regards, ACPin & Sons (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone, FTX)
