    New MOC: Quark —Nick Kappatos
   During my first-ever sorting frenzy in the early half of this year, my mind wandered enough to slap brick together once again. Ah, the good old days. In the midst of sort stages 1 & 2, I came up with the Quark: (URL) The Quark, billed as "The Segway (...) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

     (...) And, 3) My html sucks worse than my lighting: I didn't use deep links. This is what I get for doing my first MOC posting in the middle of the night *sigh* -nk (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

      (...) GA, Thanks for the misplaced kudos! They sure are swell. Sadly, not mine. My .spacers have to ride around in big, clunky refits. Sneary Secondary Systems (URL) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

     (...) Probably because I set up shop between Aaron and Joe Meno, .space Paparazzi. It's all about time slots & product placement, even in the future, baby. (Goulet) (...) Thanks Mark.

     (...) Nick, this is cool. I always love small itty bitty MOCs with big taste, and this fits the bill. Neat construction, and I like the different color schemes. Very cool how it fits in a box. :-) (URL) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
    
         Re: New MOC: Quark —Nick Kappatos
     (...) Thanks Chris. One of the pluses (plusses? plus'? +'s?) of working small is being able to reuse the design over and over, in regards to color and as part of larger builds. And, shoving it into a box attached to a larger ship. -nk (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: New MOC: Quark —Gil Shaw
     (...) (URL) (...) I saw this in a BF folder and liked it then. Well, I like it more now. An excellent, compact design Nick. I think what makes it work for me is the fig on an angle....looks fast. Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
    
         Re: New MOC: Quark —Nick Kappatos
     (...) Thanks, Gil. Actually, the fig angle is what prompted me to come up with the explanation of the hover-thingies. A BF attendee asked how the propulsion worked if the fig pulls up on the unit like that.... and I said "uh......". But that's why (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
