I've built a recreational space craft: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3434 I envision it sort of as a sailplane for outer space...powered by solar wind or solar power. Does anyone have a good idea for a name for the model? For all you artists out there, I'd also like a critique on the composition. Any suggestions? --Bram

(...) Well I personally like the idea of the model being part of a racing league. If it was then you could maybe name it on these grounds.
