Yep again. :)

If I had more room, I'd have done that. But bamboo is healthy, too - and
takes less space. :)

You're right. I have one or two of those and totally forgot to put them
in..! :) They'll have to pick up a souvenir from their next time in port
when they catch Johnny Thunder in the Valley of the Great Beasts. Or
something. :)

Agreed - there are some really nice pieces that work well in other themes.

Bah...!
I wasn't gonna say anything but ya'll keep beating me up over it so fine. Be
that way. ;P
No I didn't put a lot of the engines internally. But really, a large part of
the engines is right there between them. Besides.. did you notice the
'weird' glyphs on the outside of the engines exhaust cones? It looks like
alien technology to me.. the only problem is... the crew of the Taranis
isn't telling. ;P
I can tell you that a lot of the equipment on the top of the hull is related
to the engines, as well. I just didn't have the internal layout space to do
it conventionally so a unique drive system was used. ;)
On a different note, I've just uploaded three pictures of the crew.
