Especially the double-level cargo bay, the engines, the rooms, and the shower/head (shouldn't it have a door?). I am especially impressed by the living (...)

A shot at you - Of course not! Don't you remember that I actually said I liked your model. And if you think you're the only one who barely has money or time for LEGO, just look at me: 1) 15 years old - no job 2) school - homework - tests - exams 3) (...)
