Hi George,

I'm glad you liked it. In my opinion a good MOC also needs a good backstory
and descriptions to say exactly what the createor intended certain features
to be - not all parts of a space model are always self descriptive :)
I was feeling the same way too - sick of building military hardware, but
this has been a good break.

The name Alvin rings a bell, can't quite remember though...

Zac

(...) Zac, Wow, I like this, it has everything; back story, desriptive text and a cool MOC. It's refreshing to see something besides the usual fighters. It reminds me of Alvin, with the color scheme and manipulator arms. Thanks, George (24 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
