Nooooo!

I’ll be making two micro-scale ships from the parts of this one, you know.

I actually like The Flame better, everything from the ribbed levels to the
technical apertures. As Paul Hartzog also pointed out, the sectional pattern
on the bottom is excellent detail that could have been overlooked.
When
reading the first snippits of feedback as in Gil’s post I thought, “Hangars?
He also built microsized hangars?” Then upon seeing the aft view pic I was
like “WOW, that’s awesome!” The whole design of the hanger in The Flame is
spiffy, not to mention the takeoff strip! Someone asked about the hangars on
The Lance and, correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems they’re embedded, thus
hidden, in each side--what a great idea!

It’s all about the hangars. The hangar design for the Lance is meant to be
economical, with well-protected bays to launch fighters effectively.

I noticed this as well and would like to know the answer.

I intuitively expected and alternating visual effect, but the rest is
serendipitous.
| |
Also, excellent choice on the color schemes, and have I seen that Exploriens
ship before in minifig scale?
|
You have, and you probably will again - as soon as I take some more pictures of
it.
Cheers,
