- A few smaller-sized thumbnail images on the entry pages to the
B-Wing and A-Wing models would be nice, to give a sense for what's
coming up when the text-labeled-links are clicked.

I think I will do this.  I origionally didn't have any thumbnail's at all but I
really like how it came out on the front page so I will add them soon.  (I am
in St. Louis on buisness for the rest of the week and the best connection I can
get in my hotel is 24000 bps - It's killing me!!)  So probably this weekend or
next week.


- Since there's no textual descriptions on the .html pages containing
the closeup images for these models, you could just as well link
directly to your .jpg files (if geocities allows that and if you're
not planning on adding more text later)...  That would make the pages
load more quickly.

The problem with Geocities is that if you don't attach the add you get "Pop-up
Adds" and I find these extremely annoying hence the adds.  I may try and add
some text just for more information.


- Maybe list the "Front Corner View" first, for people in a hurry -- those
are usually the view that gives the best overall quick-peek at the model.
(That front corner view on the LDrawAWingPi.html page, BTW, is splendid!)

Thanks, that seems to be very popular with lots of people.  Whats funny is that
I actually like my B-Wing a little more than the A-Wing but I get many more
reponses about the A-Wing.  I think it has something to do with the clarity of
the L-Draw pics.  I am waiting for the SW pieces to be finalized before I
tackle the L-Draw for the B-Wing.


- The official set names for the SW sets actually have TM symbols in them,
and I think this is a first for TLG (at least a rarity).  If you want to
be 100% accurate on the names, here are details on where the TM's go:

I will take care of that once I get a better connection when I get home.


Hey, welcome to the group!  Not many people actively participating in this
one, but someday it'll pick up.  There are a few groups in California, North
Carolina, Ohio, Minnesota, and Colorado which are fairly active.

Say, where is Melrose?  I didn't grow up here so all town names aren't
burned into my head yet, and I don't see it on the map.

Melrose is just North of Boston very near the end of the Orange Line.  Its
close to Somerville, Malden, Wakefield, and Saugas.  About a 20 minute drive to
Waltham on a good no traffic day.  About 1 hour during rush hour.

Hey, you're the Gonk guy -- cool!

I gave one to my 5 year old nephew on his birthday and he thought he was "The
silliest Star Wars guy ever" granted he has yet to see the movies because he
thinks they might be to scary.


Love those A-Wing & B-Wing models too -- especially the recessed hinges in
the B-Wing -- very slick -- and the picture on the page:

(...) One thing I like about images being included on a page, even if they are the only thing on the page, is that at work, my Netscape 3.0 for AIX pops images up in a separate program, with an extra dialog box to boot. The result is that they (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

(...) Eric, looks like you're off to a great start! Since you're soliciting feedback, I could recommend a couple things (very minor): - A few smaller-sized thumbnail images on the entry pages to the B-Wing and A-Wing models would be nice, to give a (...)
