    A massive undertaking —David Sinn
   I would like to know if anyone is interested in collaborating on a HUGE starship MOC. The way it would works is this: I would sketch out a design on paper, and post to an internet site of my own. I would then divide it into sections by function, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

     (...) WOW!!!!! This sounds like something I *definitely* want to get in on! The only cautions I would state, are that the approximate scale and connections (studs only, TECHNIC-style pins, etc.) would have to be decided on, so the separate sections (...)

         Re: A massive undertaking —Tim Romine
     Whoops! Three errors to report! I just checked the scale factor again, and we should build at 20:1 for the sake of support vehicles (That Chevron Bomber is REALLY big!) and at least 10:1 for the non-support vhicle ships, although I would prefer 20:1 (...)
