(...) Hi Adrian, thanks for the kind words. I imagine this craft to be maybe 100-200 years in the future, when Mag-Levs have replaced all but a few trains, and the railnuts and historians are desprately trying to save the last, dying breed of (...)

(...) Thanks for the kind words, Chris! I don't think un-bastardizing would be a good idea since the novelty of the model IS the fact that it is a combo of train and space. But I may do a stand-alone MOW later! Thanks again! Legoswami (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) JP you really captured the spirit of the pic, in fact I think your version looks better than the source material. The shape of the hull is just flat out cool. -keith p.s. put it on the sidebar Lenny, you commy-pinko bastard! (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I tryed mixing some yellow and dark red on the hull, but I didn't like it. The easy way to do it was to separate these (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks Jason! About the bend in the front: I didn't try to fill the gap between the 2 parts because I want it to be able to open. I guess that's why it's not looking as "clean" as it could. For the engines, they are the part of that MOC I (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
