Yeah, some turnoff was to be expected. But hey, at least one can't say that
it's "unoriginal"! ;^)
When I built this ship, the intent was not to create the idea that I support
the concept of "mass killing innocent beings". No way! I just didn't have
anything else that could represent good "cattle" and fit my space
limitations, plus I have all these stupid gungan minifigs kicking around.
I'm sure some collectors can relate to that point. But Madlen made a very
good point none the less.
You're right about the slaughterhouses. I eat meat personally, but if I
were to visit one I'd probably not eat meat for a month. Until my carving
for barbaque broke down my resolve!
Much thanks - glad you like it! Again, I think your presentation blows away
mine. I wonder how Paul is doing with his wife and new baby? Does anyone
know when he and Mark Sandlin plan to judge these?
