Hi, A really nice MOC... I loved your use of the aquazone dk blue transparents for the front. Especially the SOB use. This MOC inspires even me to comtemplate a space model (not easy for a hard core Castle fan like myself... Great Work and God (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hey Lenny, I suspect you missed the joke and that, like Mark's post downthread, Steve was mimicking Marvin's version of high praise. That said, you can't imagine how many "but Orthanc doesn't really look like that, because Peter Jackson says so" (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
