This ship is really neat. That spider-bot robot-bug is very interesting and
looks pretty well built. I really like the big gatling gun thing in the
back half. Very cool to see that on a spaceship. Great job on this one!

This one looks really nice. Great job on this one too.

Definitely saved the best for last. This ship looks amazing! The color
scheme and decorations looks really cohesive and help the look tremendously.
The landing gear looks strong and stable, great job on that. The hole
through the hull for the crystal weapon works perfectly. I looked at the
first couple of pictures and was wondering how the "beam" or whatever came
from the weapon. Thought the hull might open up or something but the tunnel
is ingenius. I would have never thought of that. I can't say enough great
stuff about this model. I don't see great form factors like this all the time.

I enjoyed them greatly! And don't just lurk when you have models like this!
Great job.
