(...) Thanks! I had fun working in the mantas. (...) The row boat is right above the landing skids, forming the bottom hull of the bird (It's barely visible in the 3/4 view). I'll see if I can get a better picture of it soon. (...) Reed (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) Yes, and it was this relatively convenient conversion that made me think this measurment might be useful for some of us who build in ABS. (...) Based on the other commentary I have seen, I would guess no. But I still feel it was worthy of (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Haha! :) I hope someday that I can build a ludicrous big ship. Most of mine are sorta small, fairly small, and diminutively small. :) (The Terrorformer and the Armegeddon being two exceptions of course.) -H. (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I would agree that it is not based on any true science. Rather, I suspect hydrogen displacement was chosen because of the potential "sounds cool factor", since it sounds like a nautical term. Some sci-fi's (not all) like to draw comparisons (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

I have a Portable Bot Factory, and I'm not afraid to use it! Mua-haa-haa-haa-haaaaa! It was surprisingly difficult to build, too - took me over three hours. The hardest part was deciding what should stay and what shouldn't. I'm going to take it (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

That's a nice ship. I especially like the fork-like bow and the glowing engines, which are quite a unique touch. (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
