(...) My version is about 3 feet long. And it's taken over my work table. As to scale, it's about minifig sacle..I say about because the interior is a little too small for the minifigs. (...) I took a look at that really cool site. Neat info. I have (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)

Hey Joe - I like this a lot! You've captured a very distinctive shape in all of her Victorian glory.

(...) Yep it IS a lot of brown:) It wasreally fun trying to figure what parts were available in the color. Thanks for the compliments, too. I really worked on the bow to make it 'feel right. It took a little time and some tries to get the curves (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)

Wow. That is a LOT of brown. The bow is awesome, very textured and sculpted. Love the use of the TIE canopy. -Stefan- (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)

(...) Thanks! (...) I picked brown mainly because it would be easier to photograph and also because it was the closest to rust that I could think of at the time. I wasn't too interested in a gray version, even though the movie version is a (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)

(...) Thanks! (...) Thanks for the compliments! I try very hard to keep to a pure Lego material, but on Chernabog, I had to use a different approach:) Chernabog's wings are made of 4mm plastic sheeting, available at probably a building supply store, (...)

(...) I think it's great! You've captured the shape very well. Brown was certainly a very brave colour choice, but it's really paid dividends for you. Cheers Richie Dulin (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.disney)

(...) Thanks! I had to do some serious thinking to get the 'teeth' on the spine done. The vertical fin is held to the hull with 2 hinge plates to allow the angle I wanted, and the horizontal 'teeth' use hinges to match the shape of the ship. As for (...)
