| | Aquazone contest?
|
|
I want to get a feel for how many people I could get to participate in an aquazone themed contest. If I can get at least five of you to respond to this and semi-commit to participate, I'll go for it. The contest would open within the next couple of (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

I've sort of mingled and mangled my TAU and Daedalus references--they're different things, and Daedalus actually dates from the mid-1970s--but you can see the ship in (...)

(...) Excellent! Yeah, I had hoped I would smoke you out. Are you settled in at JHU now? (And if so, can I give you a hard time about not coming to BrickFest? :) ) (...)

(...) Looks good. It's definitely a very interesting idea. For some reason it reminds me of V'Ger. I really like the midsection with the tanks.
