(...) Well Pard, this is purt near the onliest hover coach I ever did see! Seriously, this thing is pretty awesome. I really like how you split the coloration on the coach, that with the shape really captures the conestoga wagon idea. Daniel Rubin (21 years ago, 24-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.western, FTX)

Gil, the Hovercoach rocks. The greebling on the back hatch and horse rig was very well executed. The cargo crates were a nice touch too. If it was a kit, I'd purchase it immediately. My only complaint is that the horses looked more like dolphins, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.western, FTX)

I love it, the hover horses and attached bot are a nice touch. This new "theme" is right out of "The Galaxy Rangers" cartoon.

Nice. The tan/white colorscheme is great, and those hoverhorses are just too cool. I gotta build some Techwest, seeing as I live in Colorado... Take care, Soren (URL) (21 years ago, 24-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.western, FTX)
