Though it begs the question - did the Snottler cost AU$500 plus postage? Mind you, I would buy the ISD if i had a job, regardless of whether or not i could afford it as such... And i heard rumour that there will be a release of similar scale ships from SW - will the Millenium Falcon be a 8 wide radar dish with two wing pieces out front? Think i will go build that, it would look good on the back of the bridge... then all i need do is keep that in my wallet in case i come across some one else's ISD... But back to what i wanted to post originally, look forward to seeing a ship at brickfest x? where you have combined the Snottler with one or two ISDs Cheers, Robert

As of last night, the HMLS Snottler IV is no more. No two pieces of the once mighty ship remained joined together as they were in the Snottler. Being somewhat obsessive, I counted all the pieces I'd used. The final total (excluding the helicopter & (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
