Seth, I very much appreciate your kind remarks. I was decently pleased with the final "feel" of the model, primarily as it relates to the resulting angles on the cockpit unit and geometry of the landing struts. I have enjoyed having the locking (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yeah, I have to agree with you. Anyway... I have one more day of school left (until the weekend), and I'll see what can be done.

(...) I'd like to see a 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager, or a Message Intercepter Base or even the original 918 become a Space Legend! Why does Lego even continue to bother with those new SW sets? In my opinion, I think SW is getting kind of old. Most of (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.starwars)

I like! Nice use of the new slopes on the nose, gives it quite a predatory look. This reminds me, I need to build a warplane again soon. Magnus (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
