Holy Hyperdrive, Batman!
Awesome super work, Matt! I haven't been able to go through all the
pictures yet, but the one thing that stands out the most just from the first
few pics is the "brickishness" of it all. A substantial absence of
specialty pieces, which makes the work all the more impressive and
admirable. The greebling is really excellent as well, especially in the
mandible recesses and along the sides.
