It makes the effort that we've put into our works all worthwhile when we get commentaries from viewers like you and from the emails that we get about them. Funny you should mention about 30 year olds since these works are coming from a 40+ year old (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hey, Josh, Great model! I'm pumped about building one myself. Could you post an LDraw DAT file of it? I can't quite make out how the internal structure holds all that detail! :-) James (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)
