I'm not sure where these SHOULD go (being relatively new at this too), but
these creations are far too great to get lost in the .test subgroup! Hence
the cross-post to .general.
As a child, I have watched the series quite a few times, and I liked it a
lot. My cousins had the Manta you rendered so cunningly in Lego. It was one
of my favourite toys when I went there (after their Lego, of course), and I
know it quite well. I even remember trying to fit wings under some of my own
Lego vehicles when I was young... but that didn't work out well with 4-studs
wide cars.
Well done, a great way to crash into LUGnet!
Yours enthusiastically,
Stefan.
