OK, here's what I think is going to take place with my model. (all I have to
do is start building now)
I was playing with a recon idea, but decided to merge that with the story that
Tobias had for a search vehicle. I also liked Tom's idea of a MASH unit, so it
will have a large sick bay in case those who are rescued are also injured.
Essentially you get the Res-Q theme in space. :-) That will allow for a bunch
of funky antennae, computers and a couple of small vehicles. Some rescue
missions also are of long duration, which would explain the sleeping quarters
too. I will also include a small gally for meals.
I hope to get the chassis finalized soon, that way I can get to the fun part
of building the inside.

| (...) part (...) I love building insides ;-) If I ever build another vehicle, I´ll make it more like Lawrence did his. My first was very big but most of it was solid ABS. --Tobias (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.space)
