Excellent work, Paul! Great form and styling on both ships. I'm glad you made these ships in microfig scale. Obviously, it gave you much more freedom of design and it looks like you did have a lot of fun. I think you pulled it off very well at this (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi all, I do not know if this has been asked before (I think so). But is it possible to create a group within .space for people to show their MOCs? This way the beautiful creations will not get lost in all other threads with general discussion. Jaco (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

Very cool! It's good to see someone finally making it work! And a good use of Znap too. -"Insectiods, meet Znap!" -"Znap, meet Insectoids!" -"I'm leaving you kids now, here's your baby-sitter Technic! Behave now!" And behave they did! (22 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.technic)
