Well, it's small compared to the frieghters we're seeing, but I was really
going for the one or two-man operation type feel, running what contraband
they could to keep the ship running.

Tell me about it, I really don't like the engines, but I still wanted more
effect than the 'blue line through the back/Millenium Chicken' feel I
started with. This sent me into a sorting frenzy over the next few days and
will probably be shown in an altered back-end by this Saturday's Sealug meeting.

Thanks! The basic shape is my favorite aspect because even with the engine
problems (they don't really belong to the shape envisioned) It still
remained true to my original idea.

Thanks! Ironically, those were the last things I added, even after the
cockpit modifications. At least one came from the Twisted Time Train.
However, I'm pretty sure I only have one of those, so I'm not sure where the
other came from. I couldn't find it on the Time Mountain Lab, but I have
one of those as well. It's also possibly from a Divers set, but I can't
find it for sure.

| (...) Those were included on the Shark Attack mini-sub and I believe several other sets (mainly as bottoms of shark cages and docking platforms). That's probably where you got the piece from. Neat ships! (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.space)
