More candidates:  Ice Planet 2002 version of the BT2 allied avenger (I've
seen someone do this already and it is a REAAAAALLY good idea).
Actually, it'd be really cool to see more space done in different colour
variants.
Also, it'd be cool to see an imperial guard/spanish armada version of 6286
complete with white hull and full crew compliment.

Play well, Stephen Hurn

(...) Hi Richard, I agree 100% on the idea of 'Variants'. I am even convinced that has by far more market potential as the 99,8% copies which are now sold as 'Legends'. But for the 375 castle, I would strongly recommend to make it in sandcolour tan. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
