Firstly, let me say: WOW!  The level details, both inside and outside, is
amazing!  If I were Spaceforce I'd buy as many of these as I could!

What I find especially nice:
* The underside. Being a SHIP-builder myself I understand how difficult it is
to design something that big and have it look good from -absolutely- every
angle!  Furthermore, from a space warfare point of view, a space ship would
require guns and weaponry on all sides of the ship, which you have done
exceedingly well.
* Interior details.  Your ships always look cool on the inside, but tiling the
whole floor?  and using the grates with computer tiles underneith in the engine
room is awesome!  This seriously pushes the envelope of what LEGO minifig scale
detailing means!!
* Militaristic details.  Space Mines and droid fighters.  Cannon turrets on all
sides of the ship, as well as smaller anti-fighter? turrets sprinkled all over.
The "Wave motion gun".  And those small yellow cones that appear to be some
sort of torpedo or missile.  This ship looks like a real war machine, just like
one would be made.

Requests:
* I'd like a a shot of the Dragonstar from the side at eye level with the ship.
ALthough you included an above and below shot, I'd like to see how they work
together and the real shape of the bottom.
* In the main hallway on the bottom deck there are white plates sticking out
over the floor.  Are these sleeping chambers (a la the space jet in Fifth
Element where they sleep through the voyage?)? And if not, what are they?
* I'd like a guide (so to say) of the Dragonstar, pointing out what is what (is
this a gun or just some sort of tube), and also describing what the
"wave-motion gun" is.
* Also I'd like to know more about the type of ship it is.  You called it a
"powerful destroyer".  Is the Dragonstar meant to be long range or short range?
If Long range, why aren't there the usual crew amenities, such as bunks, sick
bay, etc.?

Thanks!
For taking these pictures and posting them, and also for answering my
questions!
