Ok... so it was a joke. albeit a rather thin one.
I made the pic. I was working on some stuff for a future pcs website and
thought it would be fun to make a joke. I slapped on a lego logo and some
numbers and went from there.
I involved Kyle Keppler who would post the pic as if he found it, and Tim
Courtney, who would post that he knew a rumor. Tim Deering asked me about
it via IM and we got him in on it...
Ya, it wasn't the most well concieved joke (Lego wouldn't use the name PCS,
etc). But, if ya know it's a joke, contact the jokers and get on board,
don't kill it!! :-)
Anyway, thanks for being slightly entertained :-D
Here are some samples of some graphics:

PS I wasn't ever mad with Kyle... that was a funny side effect.

| (...) Makes me feel disappointed though... I would really, really have liked to buy one of that particular ship. It's one of my favourite MOCs ever. I wonder how much a custom kit would be, with those curved windows? Cheers, Paul (22 years ago, 3-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)
