thank you!

I have to say that my personal favorites of the details are the chandeliers
in the main hall. They didn't turn out anything like how I planned, that's
probably a good thing. :)

Great idea, I didn't think of those... I will definately use a couple!

they don't have it easy... you are right. They have to swing around the
corner on the ladder.

No technic plates used. The extender part actually has 4 small grooves in
it's surface that allow you to insert it between 4 studs.

For me, a while is maybe through the end of summer. I have no current plans
to make any more movies with it... sorry. It was a lot of fun to do, but I
am starting to seriously work on a graphic novel that I have been writing
for about 4 or 5 years off and on, and that will be taking up most of my
free time for a while.
I will still be designing with Lego, but it will all be microfig scale sets
and technic scale space vehicles that I am going to use to help me envision
the world that my story is set in.

I'd prefer to let people see it in person. A lot of the things about the
design that I want to show do not come through well in the pictures, and
some things are almost impossible to photograph, like the inside of the
fore-engines, and the cargo hold and automated loading arms.
cheers!
