Awlright!  Nice stuff!  The ship really came together well and has an
excellent 'functional' feel to it, if you get my meaning.  I always like to
see MOC's that look as if they could easily be a set that someone could
purchase and basically have fun with right out of the box.  This definately
has that quality.

Strangely, one of my favorite elements of it is the red roofing on the
aft-dorsal section....gives it finished look and a dab of colour.

Also serves as a reminder...must get bubble canopies.

Cool.

Cheers,
