Et In Arcadia Lego: the Fightin Phil
First,

Hi Paul,
I ran into this on brickshelf yesterday and was quite delighted with it. Now
that you mention your inspiration, I can see the connection to Phil’s stuff. You
really don’t leave any detail out, from the spamcake gel reactor to the laser
cannon mechanics. I did find, however, that some parts of the ship felt a bit

antennae but I’m still unsure about using the 6-wide opaque windscreens as
engine thruster components.
Keep up the good work,
Zac Soden
