Good work on using the seed part of the month. It blends in quite well. As always you've developed a unique design. Where do you get your inspiration from? Your turning out some good MOC's lately. Keep up the good work. Jamie (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Thankye, kind sir. I thought I'd better take a swing at it before it changed up to an even more difficult part! I'm convinced that chrome looks good on nearly anything. If it were socially acceptable, I've have myself chromed. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Many thanks James! I seem to be really hooked on the asymetrical concept these days. It's fun to make it such, yet try to balance it visually so it doesn't look lobsided or too gangly. When I was looking at this afterward on my desk, it brought up (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
