Hey TK, nice hardsuit. I tried using the technic bush parts for the arms when I was buiding my PA003 but I found them too short since I doubled up the levers. They do look great on your hardsuit.

Dude, I love the carrier. Not so often do we see support equipment, I love it! Particuarily the engine, the chute from bed of truck to interior, and the greeblies on the exterior are very nice.

Cool. Like Paul said, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "racing boat". The shape of it is really pleasing. I think that the sporadic black and antifreeze bits detract a bit from the model. I makes an otherwise clean design look kind of (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

John, While I think the ship looked good the way it was (yeah, if it were to *really* fly thru space it might get ripped up, and maybe "fighter" wasn't the best description for it), this is even better. I think it's fine just the way it is now. Maye (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
