One ship I haven't seen built of Lego is a Nebulon-B frigate... so I tackled it this afternoon. You can check out the end result at (URL) Thaddeus P.S. If anyone has built one or knows of someone who has, I'd be most pleased if you could direct me (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I personally would like to see.... An AT-ST, if done right, this would be an awesome set! B-Wing, this could be a great set, the main wing would probably be, ball park, 2 feet long. TIE Bomber, nuff said! With the 2 pods and the wings, this would (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Dave, I think that you have written the most concise and articulate statement regarding what is wrong with Lego today. I don't have a perfect analogy offhand, but being a fan of Lego these days is like watching an accident about to happen, or (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
