Thanks David! The CG does look kinda spare by today's standards, but I kinda like it. It's not overdone like a lot of CG we see now. I love the shot when the Gunstar first takes off and we see it coming towards the camera, spinning to show off its (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Travis! SNOT building can indeed be very frustrating, but you just have to keep working on it until the light bulb flashes on. This project had lots of fits and starts, but you just have to be dogged and relentless! Dave "travis" (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

I must commend you on your dedication to this project! It is easy to create a space ship from your imagination with LEGO because you usually limit yourself to the brick constraints. But with previously non-LEGO creaed ships, you really have to push (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
