(...) snipped Wow! That's quite a ship Soren! It has a nice shape, with both clean, smooth parts and the technical looking greeblied parts. I'm still not sure about the front. It looks a bit too obtuse to me, but hey, that's just a minor point on a (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jul-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Nice work. That is very cool. A couple of questions though. Is it mini-fig or nano scale? There are a couple things that suggest both. What is the "hole" in the back? Is that the main engine or something like a launch bay? -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 26-Jul-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Considering it's got a full interior, I'd say it's likely minifig scale :) Nice ship, Soren. I like the fins around the tail end, and the greebling looks just right. Adrian (21 years ago, 26-Jul-03, to lugnet.space)
