That's cool.  I really like your almost surrealistic models, and this adds
to them.

The hot water/cold air and vica-versa idea is very interesting, and the
piston assembly on the back is very neat.  I wonder... on a larger ship, it
would be cool if you motorized the pistons, so you could see them going up
and down.

The little greeblies are great, too- I really love your weird style.

I might make some of my own... can't wait for more!
