That's a cool ship.  I dunno about it's storyline, but just looking at it
its a cool ship, with nice angles and colors.  I think you did it pretty
well.  I don't particullarly like modifying parts, but here it's sort of 'O.K.'

Good job, very cool!

Some of you may remember the original one I built a while back. It can still be seen here. (URL) main problem with this model was that it was....well.....fat. Like me. ;) So I set out to fix that problem and give the original model a proper refit. (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
