was that the ship next to the viper fleet is looked like they to about 5 mintes to build it yes it was big but it was also a ton of crap

It sure was. It didn't turn out at all the way they had expected; they assembled it on-site, btw.

If they met, I'm sure one of them would have brought it up already.
Anyways, can either of you provide us with pics of this ship?

No, I didn't meet (thank god). J+B must have seen the pics.

The ship is never shown completely, but you can get a decent feel for what it looks like. It wasn't meant to be a stand-alone MOC, it was just built to show off all of the BSG starfighters and stuff that people made.
If you're running low on floor plates you could use baseplates as your ship's floor -- just two 32-stud ones and you'd be over the minimum. But that won't result in a very good looking ship.

You didn't know he was 15?
Do you know I'm 15?

Post by **Dr. X** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 7:01 pm

Yes, actually I did.

I thought because J+B types, spells, capitalizes, and overall interacts on the internet so bloody horribly, that he was like 5.

He's just "internet boneriffic", as IV puts it.

Post by **Dr. X** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:42 pm

I suppose. And that's a perfect term, IV.

Guys. that means he's going to be on the road next year. Have any of you seen that episode of south park where ALL of the old people start driving? That's what it's going to be like.

Except worse and much more grammaticaly incorrect.
