Heh. This morning I was thinking to myself... "I know LFB liked this ship
a lot, but I bet he likes the original better." :^) I knew there would be
many fans of the original ship, so I didn't really expect this version to
be as big a success. I built this one mainly as an extension of the
original design, and to give myself some ideas about how to build other
types of spacecraft using the 1/4 saucers.
The cockpits aren't the only improvements, however. The Neverwhere II is 2
bricks wider, so the interior is much roomier. I also didn't build the 2
lower decks as deep on the original, so the interior space is actually
quite a lot larger on the new one. The moveable 1/4 saucers are more
stable on this model as well, because of different hinge pieces I used in
the construction.

Yeah, the Slave I canopy doesn't stretch all the way, nor is it a perfect
radius. I'm looking forward to seeing your idea in the brick, however.
Please build it!

Haha... Thanks!
