  Re: Building big
 
Thanks! This reminds me I really need to finish the pics. Maybe next week. But it still needs a name... Hmm, whats the scientific name for a platapus? I allways new NASA would come in handy some day! So to NASA thanks for the background pic! --Kyle (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Literally, it's "bird-nose of duck quality". Rather descriptive. But not exactly awe-inspring for a deadly piece of military hardware. Unless, of course, it's got a poisoned spur on its hind feet...;) best LFB (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Oddly enough, there is hatch/airlock on the rear ventral area of the ship that comes equipped with a roundish white matenince craft! Maybe when I was building it I was subcontiously making it look like a platypus. Weird... --Kyle (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)
