Yea i'm not as happy with the fish-eye as i had hoped but it was neat for me
to get farther inside the ship (almost mini-fig eye level).
hehe didn't intend for the morgue look (but that's what i saw too) :)

Thanks!  I wanted to save some of the details for the end (actually hadn't
planned on those, I think i had started before they released em, and once i
saw em i had to use em (escape pods that is).

Yea i'm really bummed i had built a page for all the pics on brickshelf, but
ran out of room on my isp, hopefully soon i'll get my own domain and some
considerable space,  or I may post em on another website.

Thanks, i'd been wanting a cockpit like that for some time (but not for
$150) It's somewhat of a forced design, i wanted the cockpit, but it had to
fit in the landing bay too.

Well i think i'm off for the summer (time to go exploring), plus it'll pry
take me that long to sort the pieces :)  plus i think i wanna do some small
stuff for a bit, those big ones are too consuming.

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it.
It's still in one piece, so many ways to destroy it, but i only get one go
at it :)

I want to say nice ship, and nice design. Alas the "Tour" isnt working correctly for me. I did get my fill and feel of the ship from the rest of the site (gallery and construction). -- Kenneth A. Drumm Ph.D. (26 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
