I’m very impressed. I’d like to see some of your other creations.

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 on top construction, but that looked awfull. The cockpit was a necessity, if it can’t open up they can’t get in. And I’m really pleased myself as to how it worked out.

I don’t have that many mocs online yet, no camera, but there are four currently on Brickshelf. The link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=49744

Hope you enjoy them.

Dirk
