can't wait: (URL) a Anthropological Research Starship, studying feral humans. It is the Karalehn Industries Akins Class, Proxia. note: this is the 2nd version of this ship. It has gone from three decks to one. I realized I was trying to do too much (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.general) !

Good job, Lenny! This MOC immediately caught my eye as I was skimming through the recent stuff on Brickshelf. It's a cool design, though most of the pics showing the whole model were a bit fuzzy and don't do it justice. I dig the detailing in the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

I really like the shape of that ship. That's great use of all the hinges. The red stripe around it is cool. Good job with the interior. I like the greebling, too. -Andrew (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, WOW. That looks great, Lenny. Definently an improvement on your earlier 'ugly ship.' I love the shape of this one, it looks almost like a bunch of modules connected together with a hallway. The greebling is great, and I like the shape of the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

This ship is great, but I don't like the front. A single flat window as a cockpit? It just doesn't seem right. Maybe it needs a little more work on that part, but the rest is gorgeous. I really like the way you designed those small chambers with (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

this is a major improvement. you've come a long way. I agree with most of the earlier posters. The "navigation" area is too much like a room. it would be better served to maybe knock out those walls and replace them with slopes and a couple of (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Hi Leonard, There's a lot to like in this ship. The way you've achieved the angled shapes of the bridge and cabins is very good. The dual engine systems are a nice touch. I also like how you've made the cabins feel all homey with flowers and such. (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Cool! It's a bit of a 'me too' at this stage, but this turned out nicely, Lenny. Mind you, I never thought that the orginally was ugly...just looked like the smaller part of a very large ship. However, this was an excellent predecessor to the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
