I saw this posted to Brickshelf this morning, and almost couldn't wait for
this announcement. Having seen this in the flesh, I'm afraid the photos
don't do it proper justice.
The predominantly white with a touch of purple is a winning colour scheme I
reckon, but hard to see in the overall picture. Perhaps if it was
photographed from the sunny rather than the shadow side it'd stand out more.
The picture of the car shows it more clearly. Mmmmm. Purple.

How much do planetary phone calls cost these days?

I really like this little car. Space-town is a much underated theme in an
otherwise apparently hostile universe.
[On a side note, did you take any photos of your shrunken Jedi Starfighter
and Hyperspace ring? That was a nice model.]

Pity. The airlock was my favourite bit, and the lift was fun to play with
too. I really like little playable features like that in models, something
my own module sadly lacked. Maybe next time...
Nice to see it again. Well done.
Cheers,
Allister
