I've always loved tugs and other spacedock ships...this one definately rates
as one of the best I've seen.
Aside from the wonderful use of greebs, articulated bit and such, I think
what really makes if for me is the sloped & hinged red walls of the back
compartment. A look at modern day heavy machinery displays this rhombus
design and normally houses all the guts and gears. Incorporating it into
this model is brillant....gives it that connection to the present that makes
it's purpose immediately recognizable.
Cool stuff.
Cheers,
