| | | | | (...) Cool and unsual shape. I'm pretty sure your source for inspiration in this case will open my eyes to see spacecrafts everywhere. I especially like the thrusters cause the do not use special parts but still look very functional. Daniel (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks Daniel. I really like taking inspiration from non-traditional sources...it helps keep my thinking fresh, although it does result in quite a few half finished stinkers that never make it to posting. Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | (...) Most excellent. I like the split at the front, overall a very neat ship, and I deffinately see the klingon blade influence. It also reminds me just a little bit of an old Blacktron ship, though with the cockpit at the back. Glad to see I (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Tzu've done a great job with this moc Gil. I like the stretched out look to it, and the nose section as particularly cool w/the gray r2 heads underneath. I also liked the uncluttered design of the engines. The removable iridium core, at least thats (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Oh yes, and I, too, like kittens. -Lenny Gil, You know how to do it in style! This (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Gil, way cool, man. Your ships always have this completeness about them that I love. No exception here, of course. Beautiful contribution to the Jade Empire forces. Favorite features are the torpedoes on the underside and the studlessness and the (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) High praise from King Jade! Thanks man...this was a slow build actually. Only had short amounts of time here and there, but I think that made it a better product in the end. I have a tendency to try and overcomplicate my stuff..this was a (...) (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Until PDX, literally everything I built was through a long process of adding pieces here and there, ignoring the model for a week, coming back to it, etc. Now though, I build as I'm (...)

| | | | | (...) I like the slight tilt of the front mandibles, and I really like vessels with smooth lines except for small, focused, greeblies but I just wish I could match the smoothness of the lines on this ship. Way to work in a technic fin, too. The one (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks Ken. I seem to use the tilt construction often (most would be correct in saying 'too often')...I like how it breaks up the main beam line of the ship. Greebs are a tough and new item for me....thanks for saying that they work in this (...) (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Yo G. Y'know, I was starting to decide that I'm not a really big fan of the grey and green scheme for JE mocs. But this sweet number just might change my mind. I really dig the front end; the overall aggressive feel of it. Other things I like (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Glad to hear the aggressiveness came through - I was after something that would say (...) (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Cool. Nice to see how popular the 3x12 wedge slope is. A couple more piccies wouldn't go astray - maybe a top-down view of the ship and a better look at the rear underside? Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I hope to use it a little more...and maybe one day get the designer speedboat to score the blue ones :) Aye...I had a few more pics, but couldn't post them.

Sleek and tastefully greebled...I hear swooshing...well done. Having said all that, of course I would (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

It's funny...that little HUD was a last minute solution to fix a problem closing the canopy, yet it's come to be (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
