I'm very happy with the Canary, mainly because I was afraid the yellow would
not work out as well as it did. And as for the Alpha Team extension, thanks!
I like the premise of Alpha Team and have bought quite a few of the sets. I
think it fits in too, now that you mention it:)

I took a look at your photos and I'm pretty impressed. I got back into Lego
right after Res-Q and thought the theme was pretty cool. (Got a couple of
old sets on ebay, in fact) And the colors are really nice to work with,
except if you do stripes, you end up with a bee:)

Good points there, but the Canary really isn't that threatening of a plane.
Eagles and birds of prey are for fighters and attack craft. And I do want to
make one of those besides the Shrike. This plane is in the neighborhood of a
SR-71-too fast to be messed with, and it watches...so maybe Owl, or
Peregrine..hm I like Peregrine a lot.

I used a copy of QuickTime Authoring Studio. Turns out Lego models are
perfect to do this type of file. If you want to do this, check online for
Virtus Toolbox and the above program. QTAS might also be found at ebay.
As for your request for a larger file, give me a couple of days...I'll be
working on it!:)
Thanks for your compliments!
