Superb job Paul! The ships is beautifully streamlined and well designed. I
really thought that the interior space would be small, but wow, was I ever
wrong! ;-) You managed to fit everything a space crew would need to survive
during their long, (boring) voyage. Again, great job!

BTW you obviously haven't been studying your 50s sci-fi, otherwise you would
have surely known that every space-faring ship can't be complete without an
alien (a.k.a. really cheap actor, wearing a cheesy rubber costume) to terrorize
the crew? ;-)

<being sarcastic>
Oh, and thanks for making the pictures black & white pictures; I started
humming the _Lost in Space_ theme uncontrollably! ;-) - "Damn sci-fi channel,
why do I hate it so much, but still continue watching it?!"

Mladen Pejic, over and out!

The Pathfinder is designed for long voyages of exploration within our solar
system. She features working and living space for a crew of six.

Thanks, and LMKWYT!

Construction note:

I have nowhere near enough gray bricks (or any other color for that matter) to
build this ship the way I wanted to. My wife - who was horrified at the • prospect
of me buying all those gray bricks - suggested that since I was planning to • have
the photos be black and white anyhow, it didn't really matter what color it • was
built in. Blue, red, green... they all look the same when converted to
grayscale.

So I built it in a hodge-podge of colors. In real life, it looks ghastly - but
the photos turned out OK. Valid construction technique, or heresy?
