Great Pics, Matt! My Shuttle is close in size and is pretty heavy, but yours, with it's thicker wings and reinforced features must weigh at least 30 percent more!Do you ever try to "swoosh" it? Again, nice work...the Emperor would be most pleased... (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)
