(...) Great details and playability. I love the shuttle and shuttle bay. Nice job on the credits. I can never remember who I'm stealing from. Great stuff keep it coming. Pat "no sig fig" Bunn (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

Sweet Ship... (...) This was quite the supprise. Not being much of a space head it is kind of strange to have one of your most known MOC's being the 11-12 piece GONK I did about 4 years ago. I think I peeked early :-). Anyway nice ship and the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) That is a perfect example of a flying box that looks awesome. It's kind of a bummer that the windows couldn't be trans yellow. That would have been some sweet icing on a nice cake. -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Unholy indeed, but yep, Star Wars and Jassim. Doesn't get any better. Two-stud-thick walls make it possible to build details right into the walls. And they're a lot stronger than single-stud. I agree about the proportions. The superstructure (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'm with you 100% about the blockiness. I must confess that the blocky shape made it a lot easier to fit in all of the interior details, though. The dark gray ribs, the "wings", the superstructure, and the exterior engines were all attempts to (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
