Very interesting shape. I like the big jaw-dropping feel of it. :) But it is well done- the color is great, and the use of tiles on the back makes for a cool effect. Wouldn't want to see a squad of these little guys out in space... -JHK (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Ooh, COOL. I like the shape fo this- very daggerlike. And the soft color sheme works well, too. The engines are also really well done. The only critisism I have is that it would be nice if you broke up some the wing stud area with greeblies or (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

I don't think there is an age limit- if you are under 18, you will have to have a parent accompany you. Jonathen Mizner attended Brickfest, and was around your age. His mom followed him in Brickfest. I myself am 13 in Florida, and there is no chance (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, wow. This is a masterpiece of utilitarian Lego. I just love the way you did the shape. It gives it the right feeling of a clunky but somehow elegent service vehicle. I love all the details, such as the thruster blocks and the arms, and the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey guys, Just wondering whos going to be at brickfest this year. I'm going to try to come, but I don't know what the age limit is, because I'm only 15.(like how old you have to be)I live close enough to Virginia (Tennessee), so I could get there. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
