(...) Very, very nice. I really want to sit myself down and try to copy some of your elements. I'm also a fan of microscale as it keeps the models in a size/time frame that I can manage. (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Thanks! I'd been itching to do a model with some nice fluid curves for some time now, and this was the perfect opportunity. I really wanted to add more gentle contouring with plates, as well as some mottling with varied shades of green and (...) (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

Great landscaping, and mottling. The colour balance is great, especially for something so small! God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

A great MOC. It is always nice to have a whole composition, rather than just a stand alone piece. This has a beautiful flow/layout with nice height fluctuation. The drop under the bridge is my faviourite detail... it just makes the MOC for me! (...) (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

I think the scale is far, far too small for the 1x3 arches to be used for that!! But more importantly, very impressive model. I love the landscaping. -Josh (19 years ago, 12-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

That's awesome that they flew you guys out there for this. Very impressive for a 90 minute model! But was 90 minutes all the time they gave you to build the model, or could you have taken more time if you wanted? I'm curious why you chose to (...)
