I like the general shape of the Phoenix- the hardpoints on the sides and the
little slave ships that attach make for a cool outline. There's a good bit of
interior space as well, and plenty of play features.
I don't know, though... although it claims to be a firefighting vehicle, it just
looks like a combat ship. Perhaps it's the color scheme and the obvious source
of parts (almost exclusively Ogel sets). Perhaps it's the vicious-looking claws
and big barrels on the slave ships.
There's some neat parts usage on the Salamander- I like how you used the dumper
buckets and the clear red panels. But overall it gives the impression that it's
made from what was left over from 5 Ogel bases and 8 Ogel subs.

| (...) I concure. It looks really cool, but the Ogle color scheme makes it look more like a combat ship than a fire fighting ship. I think a red and white color scheme with a little yellow would work much better. (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.space)
