This is a real behemoth Matt - all meant in the best way, of course! You've
done a great job of taking Mark's incredible design and tweaking it to give
it a distinct personality of it's own. Of couse the side egress and the
deployed rear ramp are the real sellers. I would love to see this paired
with a troop and equipment contingent in a diorama of some sorts.....perhaps
even a 'destroyed moonbase' module. The 5P landed in the midst of a
destroyed module to investigate the remains of an alien assault.....with of
course the remnants of the connecting tunnels left in tact at the junction
points :>
Very cool.

PS. Beautiful photography BTW

| (...) Thanks for the comments, Gil! It's funny you mention a destroyed module...I'm getting so frustrated with mine, it might have to be fire bombed. The -5P is going under the knife again for landing gear modifications. While I'm at it, I just (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
