I've thought about modeling it in Lego a little while ago, although all of
the round edges make it somewhat of a challenge, It would be espeically
authentic if someone did a custom of indy and the fat guy with a bloody
face! Hehe That would be cool!
BTW Joel, the Manta is awesome. Lots of detail and a very cool shape, the
cockpit is pretty nifty too. I love cockpits that fit tons of controls and
minifigs into small areas like this one. The folding wings are sweet aswell,
you know, there isn't much I don't like about this one, It is a very cool
design and a awesome ship, keep it up!
