I really need to quit messing around with LEGO and pursue my dream of being a successful childrens book writer and illustrator. Oh well, LEGO is easier.... more (...)

(...) My photography techniques are pretty crude. I use my trusty old 35mm. I've made a stark white 3 sided box (bottom and two sides. I always try to shoot outside on clear days.

Excellent job Todd! I love the fold-down door and the interior. This model definitely proves that size does not matter when it comes to building cool LEGO spaceships.

Wow! That's a neat design with lot's of cool details! The main hatch is very well conceived. I really dig the big AWACs style dish on top :) Excellent web page work with presenting the model too! Great job, Todd! Dan (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
