(...) Good stuff, Dan! I see you have the Grand Admiral visiting. :^) Hmm, we'll have to do something about that hair and uniform. That's old skool. I like the mini fighter too. Can't wait to see it in person next month! ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Thank you very much! I tried to build a ship that had a mecha appeal to it--you know, that gritty, hardcore-ship-with-an-attitude look. I'd say it kind of fits it with Bryce McGlone's "Big Blue," like a support carrier in the mech fleet. (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

Nice looking fighter - mean and kind of "dirty" looking, if you get my meaning. Is that some kind of Gatling Laser on the front? It looks pretty neat. The black colour-scheme and pure nastiness of the fighter makes it look like it should belong to a (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

It's thickness is probably slightly much, but you could probably use one as the base of a background for a customized sign for a store ... You'd need to design and apply the stickers though.
