Hey, sorry about the late reply. This baby is awesome! I'm really liking the head, it's so smooth and well shaped. The trans red highlights really add to it as well. The overall form factor on this get's a 10. Everything is so well sculpted and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The hull is only 1x2s at the very ends. At the aft there is a really steep curve and at the bow there is actually a flare, although it's really subtle. The rest of the ship is made up mainly of 1 x 12's and 2 x 10's. You actually get a nicer (...) (22 years ago, 8-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Dan, This is beautiful! If the resolution on the photos was a little bit worse I wouldn't believe that was made with Lego bricks. Is the hull all 1x2's?
