Oh yeah. Finally we get to see this and I am not dissapointed at
all. I mean that has got to be the best carpet I have ever seen. ; )
Just kiddin of course. Lindsay your ship is looking excellent. The
shape of the section here and in the head on shot totally captures the
look of the "tall, thin starship". I and others here have brought it
up before but this reminds me of the Sulaco from Aliens. I honestly
think this style is one of the coolest inovations in starship design I
have seen. Theres something about that thin beam shape moving through
space that is really foreboding to me. Anyway so far your ship seems
to have a lot of that look to it.
Not to mention you nailed the feel of the front of the Event
Horizon. That small viewing slit is perfect. Oh man its all about that
scene where Larry Fishburn's ship is looking for the E H in that storm
and then BAM they almost run into it.

And man you totally beat me to the punch on the Znap usage. I
gotta say it looks good. I was considering using the grey and black
elements (when I buy some) for stuff just like this and now I know it
wouldn't look weird.

See above. You know I really do like this movie a lot.

Oh man your color scheme on the inside is good too. I have to find
enough pieces so that Bardiel's is not red and yellow..Gaaaaa.

Well I could go on forever. Keep up the good work.

Here at the house we have two west highland terriers and a german
shepherd. They all get along good. Well today I looked outside and
Kirby (Westy) and McKenzie (Westy) were slyly digging a hole under the
fence so as to escape. Dutchess (the Shepherd) who is a great deal
larger than the other 2 was actually sitting behind them and looked
as though she was trying to hide their progress from me when I caught
them. I've never seen this sort of thing before. It was all very odd.
Jon.
