Hey, that's pretty cool. The studs out design made the shape of this ship. I
like how it looks pointed from above, but from the side it looks very strait
and skinny. Allthough I'm not sure I like the dark gray tiles on top. Is
that a landing pad?

As far as your inspiration, you've picked good sources. I know how hard it
can be to make something Yamato-like, both micro and minifig. Maybe someday
I'll finish mine...

Ken Takeuchi and his 0050 Cruiser.  Many are probably more impressed with
the 0059 carrier but the 0050 came first.

I love the color scheme and construction as seen here;

Hey Kyle! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, those dark gray tiles are the landing pad. I had a hard time picking a color scheme for this. I'm planning on using the basic design to create a cruiser, destroyer, etc... so I wont need to worry about the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
