They can also hold things as well, with other propulsion units in the body that can be used, so (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.space)

I'd just like to say that Felix's whole seamonkey thing has revolutionized a whole category of building great work Meno, and i hope this fantheme (like PCS) continues to gain momentum someday i'll build some too just gotta ;-) -paul (22 years ago, 13-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)

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)
