Ooh, very nostalgic Classic Space. I love the way you did the landing pad-
the way the whole base looks like it's on a platform is very cool. And the
double rocket launchers and base are both done very nicely.
Oh, and the little ship rocks.
I've always wondered how those Classic Space guys lived with their walls
wide open...
