Hehe, we'll see about that. If anybody at BF2003 is going to want to see
the Neb or Blood Moon, I may have to bring them back again. Plus, I've got
another couple of big creations in the works :) How will the Spire look
strapped to the roof of the jeep? *muahahaha*
Smart work on making the thing disassembleable. I've learned (since the
problems of squeezing the Blood Moon in the back of my Jeep) that I should
make everything so that it comes apart easily :)

Indeed. (Again, with the Blood Moon) people didn't realize that it was as
huge as it was, similar to your Space plane, til it is beheld in public.
Lego has a way of fooling people when it's photographed.
Oh, by the way, the new Spire is seriously cool. Looks like we've got the
winner for BF2003's Moonbase MOC contest. The voters LOVE big!
