Wow!
Welcome back! (If that means anything from someone who's still new here since
your last posts.)
I always like the re-purposing of pieces for spacy ends. This is a stroke of

Brilliant. There, I said it again. The asymmetry, the clusters of weaponry (and
I'm a pacifist), the starturbine, the greebling, the sheer massiveness, all
worthy of praise. Alas, there's no time... Please assume a paragraph on each

I really like the extra dose of gritty (rainy?) reality in the first two pics.
Somehow that just sums it up.
Another thing that strikes me is that it's just a couple of booms and a tailwing
short of being a P-38 entry. But, don't go by me; I see things a little
differently...
Peace and hulls,
Professor Whateverly
