These pics are really well done! I am impressed with how familiar and yet
how different these ships are from 'Original Space'. Well done!

Then consider me a 'nutter' I love the ships as posted above but I collect
LEGO bricks--this is my hobby--building with LEGO, not "building with blocks
that are remarkable similar to LEGO but aren't LEGO" Besides, my two
favourite things are Technic and Train--LEGO rocks in these two fields.
But I have 0 animosity for others who 'mix 'n match'--point in case the
above ships--they are *very* sweet to look at!

Again, others can create what they please with what they want--I'll look and
appreciate and admire.

Totally agreed.

During my LEGO expansion phase a few years back (ad in paper), I bought many
many boxes of what I thought were LEGO but on getting them home and sorting
thru them, turns out that a few pieces were Tyco or MB. These were promptly
sorted out and given to friends with their own block collections. Last
week, however, I was rebuilding my firestation and I came across a 4x10
piece that was perfect for what I needed--then I noticed that it wasn't
LEGO--*Gasp*! Well, now that piece is in the bag with the rest, ready for
the nest time I get over to my friend's house and I'm satisfied with 5 2x4's.
Yep, definitly a nutter here :)
