Greetings, Some of you may remember the XB-202: (URL) was never totally satisfied with the wing design, and lately I have become annoyed with studs on surfaces. Since the wings use a modular plug-in design, I decided to try to make an alternate set (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.space) !

-snip- I was awed by your XB-202, so I'm shocked to see this new and improved version. The SNOT construction, studless skin, and cleaned up colour scheme are all marvellous. The landing gear is a triumph of Technic engineering applied to .space (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thats a really nice piece of SNOT engineering on a large scale. I would like to seem more photos detailing the wing construction if possible. I like the "plywood" approach to add strength to the wing. Probably really helps to keep them from (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

Mladen, I appreciate your comments, especially since your "Mammoth Next-Generation Hovertank" is one of my all-time favorite MOCs. It completely changed the way I think about color. More ordinance? I had originally designed the wings with two (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

Paul, Thanks for your comments. I've been a lurking fan of your work for some time. In my opinion, the Empyrean Flame is among the best Lego spaceships ever. I would be honered if you chose to use a similar wing design. I'm going to post an (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

I think more tapered, rectangular wings with a big rectangular, grey sensors unit at front (like a hammerhead shark) would look better. Also, make the body less elongated. (20 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
