| I wasn't sure where to post this, so I picked a few of my favorite sections. Feel free to move this if necessary. I'm getting married about 3 hours from now. For the occasion, I build a church scene in Miniland scale for the reception. I didn't have (...)

| (...) This was the toughest thing about the design. I didn't try to fight it (much). I wanted to have wide viewports on the sides and yet have the pod/bubble be low profile, which meant it had to be lowered and look sealed onto the ship. Using (...)

| (...) The only (visual) problem I have with it is the square-y (word?) blockiness of the opening around the pod. The other problem with it is, that now that I've seen it, I just can't sit down and try to build a spaceship of my own. I don't have the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

The design is complex (very snotty) and pulls off these seemingly (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| (...) Excellent ship! My favorite parts are the 2X2X2 clear slopes as windows and the white minifig legs just past the X-pod part. Nice SNOT work all over. (22 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

| Yee-haw. That thar is one purdy piece of PCS, pardner. Kudos on the swoosh-factor. It's just so slick! As for the interior, I'll let you know what i think when I figure out what's going on (it couldn't be SNOT cabinetry...?) The hood ornament and (...)

I'm using transclear 1x1 and 1x2 for the glasses, with studs out to make them look like crown glass, and I use two plates stacked on each other to improve the overall stability of (...)

That was an idea from Didier. It was just a fake. But (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Thanks :) Well, it depends maybe of our vision of what is SNIR. The 1x1 parts are not adjacent but in diagonal. And the alignment of the turned parts creates an offset. So we obtain a lign of studs, not in the standard way but in diagonal. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

However I would say that they have ended up in a (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

In a first attempt, the idea was to make an hoax just for fun, as the one I made when I was studying chemistry at university (not LEGO related). Of course volume I doesn't exist. I can't tell (...)

I love that kind of window, there is a good chance to find it in a new (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Well, to be picky, it's not *exactly* the same thickness. A tile is 0.4 "stud-widths" thick, but the distance between 2 such windows is about 0.414 (square-root of 2 minus 1) stud-widths. Over a larger area you would start to notice the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)
