Why not take a picture of the space craft, that way, we can all enjoy your
work? We are all anxious to see what it looks like so please feel free to
show us your work. Mine may be crummy but at least I am going to be proud
of what I did with my diminutive collection. Unlike some of you, I do not
have six-digit incomes so that I could afford all of these nice, huge LEGO
sets, so I have to work with what little money that I get over the years. I
am sure that it is a nice space craft nonetheless. I am somewhat busy with
my attempt at a capital ship, capital, at least to most of LUGNET, anyway,
so I can not show you what mine looks like for the moment, anyway. I plan
on getting me one more of those 1,200 piece #3033 LEGO tubs soon as well as
possibly getting a 1,000 piece LEGO Creator (the tub WITHOUT the people) tub
at my new Wal-Mart SuperCenter for my upcoming birthday and maybe one or two
of those $10 LEGO FreeStyle red buckets after the 1,200 piece LEGO tub (I am
23 already? Time sure does fly.). The LEGO Creator set has a lot of nice
pieces, as do the other LEGO sets that I mentioned, besides, I need some
windows on some other parts of my space craft.
I wish to have more experience in making wider space craft but then I would
not have such long space craft....:( Decisions, decisions....are they ever
easy in life?
