| | | NICE!!! Could you please take more pictures of any models that are still existing? Especially the Renown! Have you posted any of these before? If you haven't, why the heck not? I'd really like to see more pictures, especially of the inside, after (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | Thanks for the kind words, Jordan! More pictures will go up as soon as I have the time. For the Conqueror, there are more up on my site (still up as of 3:00 est for some reason) as well as my fighters, if you're interested. Oh, by the by, I saw the (...)

| | | | Heh, I know what ya' mean about lack of parts... For my new (large) ship I had to buy 500 1x4 black bricks and take the white and black out of my entire collection to create it. This time, I integrated the superstructure. I made a huge mistake with (...) (23 years ago, 24-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | Glad to help a fellow minifig Capship builder! We're a dying breed, I think, or at least not as numerous as microfig builders. Actually, I've chosen not to use slopes for the look of the ship -- I'm one for right angles, though I don't know why. I (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | I like right angles too. =) However, other people just don't seem to appreciate right angles anymore, what with all their fancy schmansy slopes and curved bricks! =) The truth is that I'm too broke to buy slopes, so I just buy a lot of basic (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Bricks = Blocky? Nah... (Was Three Galactic Alliance Carriers) —Steve Runnels
|
| | | | (...) I've started working on a capship, or 2 ;), and I don't have anywhere near as many slopes and plates as a lot of ppl here. And I only have 3 blue tubs, yet what I'm working on will be FAR from boxy and consist mainly of bricks. :P I guess I'll (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) Werd. You can definatly make something not look boxy without using a ton of slopes. It's called SNOT ;-P. I have found that large plates work well for large ships. They make it lighter too! <plug> Check out my ship: (URL) </plug> --Kyle (URL) (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | With you on that! I like to think that my work with the Carriers has left them a bit less boxy than... well... *boxes*. They lack the curves of a ship like Myase, but I try to keep them slim and trim all the same. Curving the front and back ends (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | What the heck is a SNOT? What the heck is a BURP and all those other commonly used acronyms for that matter? Whatever a SNOT is, I don't have one in all likelihood.. As for pre-curved things, I have a boat hull from one of those "boats that really (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) (URL) out the FAQ. Most of the commonly use acronyms are there. SNOT = Studs Not On Top. It's not a piece, it's a building technique. Generally, it involves hinges or Technic pieces to mount standard pieces at odd angles. The fun part is (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)
