People always copy real prototypes with their Lego, being a copy of a real

ever now. All my recent MOC's have been copies of real vehicles (except the
valkyrie).

BTW would it be asking too much for a link to some of your stuff, you have
piqued my curiosity.  : )

I can't show you any of my work yet as I don't have the necessary equipment
but I will have shortly (1-2 months).

(...) I wouldn't either, but it is kind of a nice view of the future, I think maybe that's why some people are really into it. All in all though if you monitor the space building group you won't find anything even remotely as accurate and well built (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
