Hi Gil,

This movie was one of those 'fuzzy rememberances' of the 80's for me.  I
remember seeing it and loving the idea of the kid that would be galactic
pilot - as I'm sure many here did and still do ;)

Yeah, it's a fun movie, even it does taste rather strongly like cheddar when
you grow up.  :-)

An excellent reproduction of the model...the death blossoms are tough ones
to get and you've really done it here.  Maybe the cockpit could be
replicated with a novel arrangement of canopies somehow?

I didn't really try with glass because I wanted to get the shape and angle
as closely as possible, and I thought the pnuematic tubing was the way to
go.  I've pullled out my trans-clear and messed around, but couldn't find
anything even close.  Perhaps a ship from SW Episode III will provide the
part needed!

Regardless, great work.

Thanks!

Dave

Cheers,
-Gil

I also have a page with pictures of the project from start to the first
rough version of the ship.
