Groovy.
While I don't consider myself an expert builder or anything I don't mind
being mentioned in the same breath as some of the others.
Most of the pics look good. A couple appear grainy, but that's probably
because they're being blown up larger than they were meant to be. Overall,
it was kind of neat.
I have also been collecting pics of other people's work, but really just to
print out for my own Idea Book. I can never seem to remember the details of
someone's MOC when I get home and having a variety of pics to view can break
some of the mindblock I get.
Anyway, thanks for thinking high enough of my little stuff to include it (I
didn't think anyone even saw the explorer ship). I've been sort of dormant
over the last two months, but - hopefully - things are going to change and
I'll have some more stuff up and running soon.
Evil Wayne
