yes, often the simple things are the coolest.

this model is a perfect example of hitting the target,
its not my fave and its not the most terribly interesting
thing i've seen, but get this:

You can't really find anything you DON'T like about it.

and that says A LOT for a model.  Its well constructed,
and a lovely color (where can i get that many green blocks in a set?)
and all the individual necessities are well-handled
(turret, shape, barrel, engine, steering, etc.)

I wish that there /were/ just one set with that many green bricks. Were it
not for the various Star Wars sets with green bricks, I'd have never been
able to complete this model. Wish the budget included another of each set;
life would be so much easier. :)


this one is like the diff between a ferrari and a Hum-V,
the ferrari may dazzle for a few minutes, but the Hum-V is rock solid
and stands the test of time.

the Piranha is rock solid construction.

good work

Y'know? This is probably the best group of compliments I could have asked
for. It wasn't meant to 'wow' so much as be functional. Thank you. :)
