(...) Let me be the first to comment since I was so late in my Destroyer opinions. Looks great, Trevor! The sides are very nicely articulated--overall, it's got a nice texture. I love the big guns on top as well, which I know you also used for your (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hey, thanks Peter! :^) I really tryed to pay attention to the flow of the hull and the color scheme in this one. My initial concept sketches had the "Belly" module in place - in reality it was supposed to completely integrated, but I think (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

Very cool! I dig the look of this one, very rugged! Also like the way you used the small white baseplates from the arctic set. Those baseplates come in handy, eh? Those big ships eat up regular plates fast. Anyway, keep up the good work. Dan (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks, Dan! :^) Tim Courtney told me a little while back that he had a high ratio of plates to bricks that enabled the completion and look of his joint destroyer project. But you really have to be thrifty when your ratios are more like 1 (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Exactly! The only drawback, of course, is you gotta sacrifice underside detail and sturdiness. But, big baseplates do end up reducing the overall weight of the model. My carrier was actually pretty light. It had lots of tiny pieces that (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Great frigate! ;) It seems like a lot of people are using those Arctic SPUDs on their big ships, which is a good idea. Like everyone else, I can't wait for interior shots! -- dataAndrew (URL) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) <snip> (...) You noticed that...heh... :^) I would prefer two white plates as opposed to grey. Those plates are there to allow me to attach underside modules and to easily remove the modules afterwards. They also allowed me add the underside (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well, Peter Guenther also commented on the sharp 90 degree angle from the con tower to the main body and back again. Also, I have to contend with the flat underside of the main body section. I will be placing a modular module in that area that (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
