| | | | | | (...) Too kind, sir! Heh...this one is kinda a mix of an attempt to do semi serious sci-fi design ( a la Alien), but infuse a little of the fun of a playable set. Perhaps kids would like it? Garbage Pirates!! Yay! Okay...mebbe not. :) Thanks again, (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Wow, this is great! The little hover-thing-a-ma-jig makes it—classic LEGO vehicle in a vehicle playability. This would make a fantastic set. TLC should be paying attention. Great build, Gil. Thanks for sharing. (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The little guy just sorta came together... and it's what I play with...um....'study' the most. Cheers, -G (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I never thought I'd be so excited about a 'garbage truck', but being blown away by one thing or another here on Lugnet is something I've become used to on an almost daily basis... As for what those other guys said; me too! Excellent (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Lately I have been obsessed pouring over the old Space and Town catalogue models from the late 80's, early 90's. They are so much (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The combination of the greebs, functional details and color scheme hits that sweet spot that the best builders on Lugnet are known for. Reminds me of some of Mladen's and (...)

That's gotta make three or four entries in the 'theme'. Nice work on (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

No, I will say this: a) This is really well thought out on all levels - the support craft all make sense and work with each other. b) The darn thing is asymmetrical, (...)
