Heh. Well, I meant "slack" compared to my usual pace, and what people have
come to expect from me. :^) Everything on my website has been built since
late March. I tend to build in the evenings after work. It helps me unwind,
and since we don't normally have plans on work nights, then I can usually
get in about 3-4 hours per night. No kids, either. ;^D

Well, that one slides forward, which would be a bit more difficult to do.
the way I built mine required a few tiles, and a 2x6 area behind the cockpit
that it slides into. (actual movement is 5 studs). If you were to implement
this on the Naboo, then you'd likely have to change the nose, too.

I've always wanted to build a Viper, and you can see influences of the Cylon
Raider in my Payback on my website. :^) But I am, of course, a child of the
80's. I grew up during what I consider the golden years of LEGO and toys in
general.
