(...) Hi Nathan! I love how the sector site for this one includes MOCs (presumably NPC vessels and such that you plan to have as possible encounters within your sector). That is a great way to include more use of The Brick in this otherwise virtual (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I was giving one of my organizers a much-needed organizing and came across this little ship from long ago: (URL) always did like the design. It's approx. 42mm wide at the rear and 15mm high. Cockpit 10mm wide, 10mm tall. The rear rudders/stabilizers (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) Nice variant Mark...the colour scheme is exactly what Air Canada's eastern business commuter lines (Attache Carrier) were...it's amazing. I love this design...it just makes me feel good. Cheers, -G (22 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Classic Space is my all-time favorite theme. I'm currently tracking down the last few parts I need to complete several old sets. With the superstructure I was definitely going for a nautical look - glad you picked up on it. Thanks! - Paul (22 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! 2-wide bunks bug me too. Minifigs are bigger than that, and if you're building to a 1 stud/foot scale (as I do), 2 studs = 2 feet = a very narrow bed. Mine are actually 3 studs wide, which seems about right. I doubt there will be any (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
