Hey Jamie! :) Yep, gotta love the small fighters. I know I do. It's probably because I don't have enough parts nor do I have any idea of how to build a capital ship. I happened to have those railings laying around from a parts-search (a search for (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Many thanks James! I seem to be really hooked on the asymetrical concept these days. It's fun to make it such, yet try to balance it visually so it doesn't look lobsided or too gangly. When I was looking at this afterward on my desk, it brought up (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
