First, as a fellow Ice Planet zealot, I must applaud your work in the Ice Planet
theme. Very cool, no pun intended. . .well maybe a little one.
Anyway, on to the critiques
I dig the mammoth, the wheels are very creative and I love the double quarter
dome windscreen construction. I've actually used quarter domes in a similar
manner to get large windows with the wierd angled portions hidden inside of the
ship. However, I am not a fan of the cannon on top, I've found that turrets
look better when they have bulk in the back of them: they look more counter
balanced in this way
Your other heavy ground unit, the Ice Sat VV (55, 5+5, 5*5, Veve?) I'm not as
ecstatic about. The back seems too sparse to match the meatiness of the front.
I'm not sure if I like the Satellite Tracker yet. But, I can tell that I like
the antenna coming out of the satellite dish and the black power cords on the
support of the dish.
I love the new Ice Goblin, but not as much as the Goblin III, that one was
incredible. I think the big change is that the legs look too scrawny here.
IG V, now this thing is awesome. Seriously, I love it. I want it. The meteor
use is great. The legs, antenna, guns, all top notch. The feet, the feet!
Dang. . . I have to stop focusing on Cap-Ships, so I can build stuff like this.
The side panels at the odd angles are great on the Flare. I think it could use
a hint more blue, however.
The coolest thing about the moonbase are all the other small craft you haven't
shown individually here. Some of them look awesome. I also dig the two down
angled corridors. . .nice.
I think you've got a great start here. But, I was thinking, wouldn't this look
sort of odd sitting next to a regular moonbase section. Unless of course, snow
fell in perfect linear lines that measure to exact squares. . .
Seriously though, I really like the stuff you've got going here. So I'll go
ahead and ask for more.

| (...) Excellent critcism on all counts. I am still tweeking everything a little bit at a time and will have more photos soon. As for the moonbase connection. I figured I would have two more on either side to make a better transition to blue and grey (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

| I have started to document what started out as fun and ended up as a florecent orange obsession. I've put together the Ice Planet Moonbase section 1 than followed it with some support vehicles, ships, speeders, mechs, giants and rockets (for (...)
