(...) Allister, This is an excellent little design. I agree with Keith in that "You really captured the whole alien/aquatic aesthetic very well." I like the continuous nature of the vessel with the segmented body. At first I was not sure if it was (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I can't believe how good these are..... Reminds me of a SciFi art book from my childhood called 'Mechanismo'. LEGO, get your act together and hire guys like Paul. Take care, Gary (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) The alternating slopes detail is one of my favourite ideas for the Lance, I'm glad you liked it. I thought I could have used a bit more angles and SNOT myself. My next one definitely will use them more. Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Funny, the main body of the Flame is what I'm least happy with. I guess it's a shape I've seen before and I wanted something more distinctive. I'll be keeping the front of the Flame for a new ship anyway. Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Well, only the Flame is limited edition, really. I think the Lance is a comfortable maximum size/weight for a microfig capital ship; lots of room for detail, and still somewhat swooshable. In my chosen micro scale (1/8 minifig) it's about 450 (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Funny you should say that - I worked with three detailing scales in mind: 1. Overall scale - the general form of the ship and shape of bulkheads. It worked well for the Lance, not so well for the Flame IMO. 2. Stud scale - the form given to (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
