Hey everybody -

I've posted far too many pictures. There's a second page:

Credit where credit is due. I've been inspired by/stolen ideas from the
following folks:

It might just be because I'm channeling a Jassim-SHIP when I look at it.  Also,
I think the engines might be a little too over-engreebled.  They just look
cluttered and busy.

You also seem to have made use of a lot of custom stickers.  Whether that's good
