Very very nice! I enjoyed the progress you showed online of it and how it evolved. This ship fits a PCS scheme very well. I like how you did the exterior, using SNOT techniques, but putting greeb in there as well. I like the engines, and how they (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Not too shabby at all. I was concerned that the colour scheme might not work whilst looking at the progress pictures, but while it is fairly jumbled, it works. It adds to the greebling effect I think. You've taken the angled wall idea you've (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Excellent work, Lenny! During your construction pics, I wasn't quite sure what the end result was going to be. Would it be boxy? Would it be a flying tube? Would it be flat and wedge like? It all looked very promising, but the outcome was (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
