Wow! your B-Wing is awsome.  I actually looked at it before I read your entire
message and I was thinking that a couple of sections looked similar to mine and
now I know why :-).  Your design is really great.  I have been involved in
other LEGO projects lately so I have not had a chance to revisit my B-Wing but
who knows I may again soon.  It looks like you made some significant
improvements to the S-Foil design over my design.  I might just have to check
that out.

Again very cool.  Its been a while since I've had much inspiration for a SW MOC
but maybe soon.  Being is the same LUG as the likes of Shaun Sullivan (AT-AT
and AT-ST master) and Dave Eaton (AT-AT) you become humbled quickly :-).  If I
can ever build up my Brown or DKGray collection I would love to do a Sand
Crawler but who knows.

Once again great work.

Hi Ho Star Wars fans, This is the first time I've actually contributed LEGO-wise to Lugnet, previously I've just been making a nuisance of myself in various groups ;-) If you'd care to go to (URL) see some of the fun we got up to at the Sydney LEGO (...) (26 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.au)
