off.  Two, the geometry of Homeworld ships proved extremely tough to mimic,
especially since I stopped buying lego sets in 2000, and I was never into
technic.  The key so far has been piles and piles of slopes--lots of those
roofing service packs.  Those little black square 1x1 flat panels have also
proved essential because that's the only thing that looks suitable for the
cockpits.  The fighters look very blocky, but I used 1\2 of the coupling (ya
know, the one that seperates into two pieces) turned backwards to add some
"flair"--heh.  The fighters are probably as good as they'll ever be since
it's difficult to work within a 3x3x1 space and build a masterpiece.  Oh
well, they look imposing in squadrons of 12 and swarms of 50 or so anyway.

Hey,

I'm Wes Prewer,http://www.geocities.com/corhellion666/ITA_website.html

I am a HUGE fan of HomeWorld, and I like what you are doing, Keep up the
Great Work.

Also, it'll be awhile before you see the big models like the Naggarok, the
Heavy Cruisers, and the Command Ship.  I'm working from the bottom up.
Currently I am putting detail and organizing the color scheme of my Vettes.
The color scheme so far is black and grey simply because I have about 100x
more bricks in those colors.  Later, however, you'll see my fleet flying the
royal Red & Yellow, along with my friend's Blue and Green.  The other guys
don't have fleet colors yet.  Excpect pics of my ships within 2 weeks or so
(I'm very busy with finals and school).  By that time I should have pumped
out the first destroyer on my list, the Taiidan variant.  I'll take some
shots of it chomping on some Heavy Corvettes and Multibeam Frigates.

Yeah, I do ramble alot--but I only post every couple days.

Till next time...

Have you heard of MLcad? It is an Excellent computer program, which let's
you build lego creations right on your computer.
Give it a shot, it is really easy to use.

Keep up the good work
