I wanted to say my favorite is the X-Wing. I love to use of the 1x2 "gun" parts for the wings. The A-Wing is also one of my favorites. I need to post my microfig Millenium Falcon. It is smaller than the one Karim did. (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

Out of all the original creations I've seen so far on the web, Karim's are the best. No one else has a deeper understanding or how to build and how to overcome the "stacking" problem of Lego bricks. The man is a master. Dave (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)
