IE, the first and last ones - they are just long tubes with a bridge on the
top.
Well, transports that just ferry ppl back and forth dont have to be cool
looking....

Now *there*s a matter of opinion if I ever saw one.  Personally, I'd like all
of my creations to look cool (whether they do or not is a totally separate
issue), even if they're ugly.  For space, IMO, ugly and cool are two different
subjects, because some vehicles for certain tasks *are* ugly.  But ugly in an
obviously functional way.

The ships aren't *bad* if you consider them being obviously microfig scale,
though they aren't the best microfig creations.  What they do remind me of is
Karim Nassar's capital ship (the name escapes me) but that's done in minifig
scale.  His ship is *very* impressive with its generous use of quarter and
half domes on their sides.

But I think that having an apathetic attitude that stuff isn't under a
requirement to look cool, then posting 'hey look at these!' is rather silly,
if not disturbing.  But, its your creations, and your post, not mine.

Rick, first of all, you never have to ( and you SHOULD never FEEL you have to ) explain, condone, justify, or otherwise defend your creations. To anybody. For anything. I think your models have great merit. Should a nation at some point in time (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)
