This is such perfect timing! I'm just putting finishing touches on
L-Draw-ing my "LL932 Galaxy Expedition". It goes the opposite direction of
your LittleShip--answering the question "what if Classic Space had been
released in the late 1990's." It's actually an combo-alternate model from
928 Galaxy Explorer and 924 Space Cruiser.
Now I have to finish up and submit it! Only problem is I like it too much
to tear it up and work on the other categories :)
Thanks for this fun idea!
