(...) Very cool. I like the pop-out lasers, though they look like they might be a bit tricky to actually pull out. I've never tried putting those windows together that way because of the thick roof, but you made it work well. The shape reminds me of (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
