Hiya folks, I finished this one around August, but never got around to photographing it. I am in the process of taking it apart now, but I snapped a few shots before I started. (URL) am going to post an animation tomorrow of the middle section (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Too cool, Joel. The grav section is excellent, and I really like the way you built the cannon on top from the blade thingys. Well done, as usual. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

Wow. Incredibly odd, yet incredibly cool looking? For some reason, I really like the transparent bay at the rear. Nice use of hinges and such. What was your inspiration for this baby? The rotating thing is awesome. I have stared at your little gyro (...) (23 years ago, 24-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

I'm sure I mispelled it, but Lianov was the name of the Russian ship they took to Jupiter. It had a rotating center section as well (though very different than yours). (URL) a look at those if you're curious. ~ Tom -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)
