 | | The NPX-3801. A P-38 Lightning Space Contest entry and introduction. —Dirk van Zuilen
|
| | | Hello everybody, My name is Dirk van Zuilen and I have been lurking for well over a year now. Mr. Palmer's contest seemed like a nice way to finally introduce myself. I'm 31 years old and have been collecting since the age of 6. In that time I've (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.space) !

| | | | | (...) Jon Palmer and I were looking at your ship last night. It's very well done. We don't get a lot of Star Trek themed ships posted to .space, I think because the ST spaceships you see on TV are generally very large. Well done! -Grand Admiral (...)

| | | | | | | Very well done indeed. You seem to have brought a distinct Steamrunner class look to the P-38 contest. Warp engines are notoriously hard to build convincing LEGO versions of, but yours are incredible. I also like the manner in which the cockpit (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) Thanks Steve, Now you mention it, it is a bit Steamrunnery. I wasn't aware of that when I was building it. The Warp engines were fun to figure out, it took about 10 days before I came up with the final design. I started out with a simple studs (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) Thank you for the welcome. You're quite right in your observation about the size of Star Trek ships. Most minifig scale builders (myself included) stay well under the 100 studs mark. For ST that's a big shuttle. If you want to build a "true" (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Hey Dirk, Very nice model, and I know exactly what you mean about slender pylons and heavy nacelles. The Classic Trek movie Enterprise has always been my favorite iteration of the ship. I dearly wish I still had my South Bend electronic Enterprise (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

I must admit that I came pretty late to the whole Sci-Fi scene, only one of the disadvantages of living in The Netherlands. There really is no big (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

Hi Dirk and Dave, If you're interested in a cool Enterprise model, I can heartily recommend Bandai's Enterprise model: (URL) They're right about the colour scheme, it is more subtle than in the photos. Their Enterprise-E is good too, although (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

They've got some nice stuff in there. I know someone who could be quite interrested in several (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
