After may months lurking, I have posted my first finished MOC. The Varian class starship UES Levin. (URL) little backgroud: This particular example has been pulled out of mothballs, refitted for scientific research and renamed the UES Levin. (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Great experiment Adrian...and a successful one I might add! It rings of the pre-Transformers that I remember picking up on Florida trips. I don't know if they were Diaclone or not...I think they may have been spinoffs from the Gi-King (sp?) (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) that have be gracing these boards lately. Many details to love about this...the mait mech, the tower interiors (from what we can see), the fuel track complete with 'dipstick' (the item, not the driver), etc. My favorite is the small, black (...)

A big slam dunk from the New Temps, Sylvi. Just wondering, were there any inspirations for the design? It looks to take some of the best elements of Paul Hartzopg's Triumvirae, and Paul Hanson's Overkill. The incorporation of the canopies are very (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Interesting craft Jim. I'm afraid my memory of the fighters fron Starship Trooper is pretty thin, but from what I remember the ships were of a very industrial nature...a lot of hard edges, jutting fins etc. Your model has all these attributes (...)

The only suggestion I might put forward is to smooth out the area behind the cockpit a bit...perhaps (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) I find that a few of the HP sets have some decent parts, but the motherload of useful thingies comes from the Snowspeeder/AT-ST pack. Tons of useful parts in there, without even a single useless piece. And all of it is in grey, perfect for (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) That's looking real tasty. Yeah, the different-size dishes are what got me into microfig too... ;-) So what's the scale difference? I found that the dishes sort of suggested about 1/8 minifig scale. I was once a bit of a sceptic, but I tells (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
