You couldn't put it together and bring it down to Gosport on the 28th April
could you?

Can anyone else do one of these?  Mark - what about you?

I'm going to try and rebuild my Space Transporter (v2) and Mercury Crawler
this weekend, then see if you _can_ combine the two into this one set
(instructions from Brickshelf).

I'll never get my carrier done in time, so I might as well dismantle a few
of my stub fighters to get enough wings before the Fest.

I'd like to see how many of these we can get down to Gosport, and take a few
photos (along with a line up of 918/924/928 blue ships), then pass them
around Lugnet.

So, who can put one together?  I'll keep you posted on my success.
