Just let me start out by saying each and every one of these ROCK. Now onto
the specifics...

This is one bad lookin' ting. Normally I'm not a big fan of Expanded
Universe stuff, but this really looks amazing. Using the Classic Space
thrusters to maintain the slope of the pylons really makes it in my opinion.

Jon's Dwing is a thing of beauty and this carries on the tradition. I'm
amazed how well you've managed to integrate the dishes into the design by
countersinking them into the main beam. The egress is both realistic and
just plain cool. This is definately my favorite out of the bunch. Now if

Kablam! I'd hate to see this bearing down on the poor, defenseless EYOT.

A small innovation with big possiblities...love it.

| Go to (URL) click on "New Additions" at the bottom. The first item is my first Star Wars pod. The Pod TIE Defender. I copied Jamie's Interceptor pretty closely. I would've gotten it done sooner, but I had to wait for a BrickLink order. Since my goal (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc) !!
