Hey, I took those pictures! ; ) I wish I would have gotten more! Scott was
having too much fun to worry about pictures! : )

That ship is Mark Koesel's creation, an M-Tron MOC, which I loved to death.
I took the picture of the landing gear because I thought it was so
inivative. He had a 1x1 cone on top, which stuck out a little on the wing,
so you can push n that to get the landing gear out. I still need to try
that, it is impressive. Mark is usually a TECHNIC guy, but he is a great
builder. His walking spider mech was also awesome.
Ah, fond memories. Back to work!! : )
