I think this would be better if we assumed that the guys really are processing dumb alien cattle. If a person eats pork or beef, then that person would understand that this is a regular, every day sort of business. I just didn't have cattle, unless I used horses. But I didn't know how I could hang horses from meat hooks easily, and the ship would have had to have been twice the size. Maybe polar bear figs would have been better. But you can't take them apart like minifigs. So let's assume the minifigs are dumb cattle. Sort of like Timmies! Your comments are much appreciated, as always! :^) If you want to send me a note as to how I could improve the blockiness, I would appreciate that too cuz it's an ongoing process for me to get around that building habit. I think that I have improved the blockness somewhat since my destroyer, but I still found the engine area to be kinda square. I think I just need to get my hand on some more slopes. ~Trev Astro Lift Co.
