Oooooh. Cool. Yet another awesome MOC from Mr.Sandlin. Your pictures
are few in number, and because of that I am forced to ask this question:
What part/s did you use to make the cockpit? The picture doesn't help much,
but it appears to be a piece similar to those used in Classic Space bases
(is it?). I look forward to seeing more pictures, especially of the inside.
I am really feeling pressured to destroy my models and build something
like that, but at the same time, I hate to dismantle anything. Does anyone
have any advice? Should I set up a collection of parts specifically for
disposable creations?
