Like I said, it's probably just a difference in design taste... it actually
looks quite amazing in the whole ship pictures. The only time some of the
detail sticks out as odd to me is a couple of the close-up pictures. It
definately looks cluttered in a pretty realistic/patchy way. Kinda like the
wayward love-child of the Millenium Falcon and Babylon 5 :)
actually, if it is explained on your page... I missed it: what does the name
mean? It sounds familiar, but can't remember what it may mean. Is it a
medievel weaponry term?

well, I have to be honest and say that now that I have seen your ship in a
more completed form I HAVE to build another ship. Mine looks pretty lame next
to yours. Not that I build out of a competitave spirit against other people,
but I have a lot more time, space, and parts from when I originally built the
Elegance... and your ship really inspires me to work to my fullest potential.

would a ship that large be able to feasibly enter an atmosphere? Actually,
this brings up the whole question of what kind of tech level you built this
at. I would be interested to know if you have a backstory or anything plot-
wise about the universe this ship is from.

Interesting... I wish I could work like this. I tend to go weeks without
building anything, and then when I get an idea I work for whole days or for
any available spare time to finish it. After completing a large project I
don't feel burned-out on Lego per se, just whatever theme I was building in.
IE after finishing my Millenium Falcon, I didn't do any space for a month or
so, and after finishing Port Feyr, I didn't do any castle for months. etc...
I want to learn how to pace myself better, its just too hard to control my
exuberence when I am truly inspired to only work a little each day.
can't wait to see your ship done...
cheers!
