This SHIP started in 2002 as an experiment to build a click-hinge based cylinder, and eventually became a composite of various SNOT and non-standard building techniques. I don't have any cool sci-fi backstory about the origin or purpose of the (...) (18 years ago, 26-Aug-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX) !!

Very impressive. And it has a very professional look, right out of a sci-fi movie. Andreas (18 years ago, 26-Aug-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) This rocks, I am blown away. Gray and blay is thoughtfully mixed, and that looks really good. The "nose" has an interesting ducklike shape, giving this SHIP an unique profile.

Stuff I like: (3 URLs) I'm not so keen on the saucer bit up front - I think a flatter, more angular head would have been better. Also, missiles. I'm a sucker for missiles. Apart from those minor nitpicks it's quite stunning. I'll be borrowing bits (...) (18 years ago, 26-Aug-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the saucer in the front either, but it still looks alright - helps to give it a very distinctive profile. The mid-section is beautiful, and I love (...)
