Chris, That Starfleet Voyager X1 just takes the cake! I really like what you have done. You made it modern, yet kept the soul of the original. Kudos! The reason that I like the Starfleet Voyager X1 is that the original was my first big Classic Space (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) What a cool little ship. Love the cockpit detailing. Actually the detailing all around is well done, especially the nozzles. As for the color choices, I really like the white. And it photographs well:) Joe Meno (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
