LMKWYT,
Todd Amacher

I love the playability features of your carrier -- it feels like a real toy
that someone could really put their imagination to.  The swiveling turrets
and the opening landing bays are done very nicely.

Thanks, Tom. I've always felt that playability is a critical objective in my
designs. For example, if I built a mecha that looked good but could barely stand
up, I'd go back to the drawing board. It tends to keep my mecha in the small to
medium range- at least until the 2nd wave of "Designer" sets come out this
summer with new clicking ball joint bricks.

  I don't think it really
needs a stand, as I would most likely be swooshing it about the room rather
than displaying it on a stand.  ;)

I guess it does'nt need one, but I've been experimenting with stand designs
lately, and found that the rectangular beam bricks from the Alpha Team II sets
make good base cores for stands.

Later,
Todd Amacher

    Besides all that, I really think this
model feels complete.  Nothing seems out of place and nothing seems missing,
either.  Nice work.
