Overall design - very cool
Continuity - nice! matches Classic Space well
Innovations - great! I love the landing pad, so I'll be stealing it
I also like the rocket platform made of 4x8 wings
Ditto the hinged wall/walkway/platform
Blue wings? No problem, even if they're anachronistic,
the look good
A great model! Thanks for sharing.
Dave!
