(...) Looks like a moonbase trailer park... :-) Actually, that's not a bad idea either. Why pack your belongings when you move? Just uncouple the module and transport the whole works. -Duane (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks for the compliments! I didn't mind the wing droop terribly, but it was due to a weak structure, not design, so I thought it best for the bricks to fix it. I might change that though. I first came up with the engine design a while back (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Nah, I wouldn't flame you for that. It's easy to see the classic space through rose-colored glasses and I congratulate you at taking an honest, critical look at the sets. I remember when classic space came out. I really didn't know what to (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

Beautiful! Even though it's sub-minifig scale, it's an awesome creation. I like how it's suspended on the black stands, which is absolutely essential for such a fragile ship (only intended to be operated outside of a gravity well). (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) oh my goodness, Jason, this is amazing, I'm sure you've heard it before, but I had to mention it. I almost think the sin of cutting a box wrench is worth it in this case. Thanks, George (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Tony, You seem to have found that building wind. This racer is quite nice - both its studlessness and all the interactive features you built in - stuff like the lockers and the neato landing gear. I also enjoy the implied violence of the racing (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The engines specifically look very cool; a convincing use of the brown droid (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

True...nostalgia is a powerful factor in the reverence the old CS sets enjoy here, but for me anyway it's the concept of playablility that comes through in the design and basic construction of the sets that tweaks me more so than the actual (...)

Ley this is a great ship. I really like the slide-open cockpit and arch-insets in the wings. Like Paul, I'm not feeling the P-38 vibe on this one, but it is cool nonetheless. The only aspect of the ship I didn't like was the drive-dingus that hangs (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
