| | | | | Very nice. However, I think it would look better if you made the sides more rounded and detailed. Also the top and bottom look very flat, and could easily have more stuff added to them. Otherwise, it's a very cool freighter, and I really like the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| | | | | (...) Pretty neat design. I must agree with Mladen, though. It lacks excitement. The Neverwhere was interesting, with secret weapons, opening compartments, and a radical new design. The ISP HF-300 is just kind of, well, boring. No offense, but it (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
