Karim is a good weapons builder? I've never seen his stuff.

I agree. Hey, orange is a rather rare color, but we could use them as much as
we want!

Decidedly! :) Hey, the Thunder Hornet's wings, when I built it in real life,
fell off quite often! But it does look cool sitting on my lego table. I just
have to be careful with it.

Yep. I suggest maybe blue or white for the outside. Nice colors... :) Or green.

Help! Ahh! Trans green is almost impossible to get. Trans red is a bit

Good! I'll be waiting to see it! And remember, I volunteer for the
Medical/Sick bay.
