(snipola gud stuff)

I hear ya, but overall I think the exposure is good thru posting on both.
Not only does it capture the attention of those that only look at one or the
tuther, but posting here gives a chance for exposition and exchange based on
the creator's own inspirations.  I kinda see'em like 2 great tastes that
taste great together.  Like nuts and gum.

Ah' like it.  It does indeed look like an Imperial bulldog.  I've noticed as
well how the current trend of ships in most comics is for bulbous,
manga-inspired organic fare....a tough run in the brick.  Using the SNOT
technique for the cockpit along with the saucer pieces gives it a fair
shake.  And that command console rocks.  Only thing I would suggest....the
engine nozzles.  A small point, but I always find that if the exhausts have
some depth to them, they take on an even more realistic aesthetic, IMHO.

Simple. Lightweight.  Easy on parts and sleek.  Nifty in my book.

I can't believe anyone else read this title..what a blast from the past.  I
really dig the trollalien and his radioactive vent buckle.  Now all we need
are some Starjammers (who are coming back too, BTW).

Aloha Spacers, I never know whether I should post some things here on lugnet that are on brickshelf. I don't know about most of you, but I have a ritual each day of hitting the same websites (lugnet, brickshelf, fbtb, etc.). So, when I post a new (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
