Hey Paul,

Stupendous!

I have to say that I'm a *huge* fan of retro-scifi. I love the way you've
capture that 50's-G-Rated-News-Reel feel. The whole thing reminds me of all
those cheezy Creature-Double-Feature sci-fi movies I grew up on. I still
love them.

Great job!

Evil Wayne

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?

(...) Thanks! I wouldn't have built a ship like this, or made that newsreel-thing, if I weren't a huge fan of 50's sci-fi myself. It's good to know that I'm not the only one! (24 years ago, 17-Apr-01, to lugnet.space)
