Me: For some time I've been fascinated by trying to recycle plastic junk.
Numerous plastic forks and spoons, and, of course, sporks, have been chopped
and filed into basic hull shapes, and little bits of
paper-punch-punched thin plastic lids glued on for panel effects.
Nothing completed; just bits and pieces...

However, some of the very cheapest disposable shavers have handles that
suggest the 'bricks' you find in parts of the Legend of Galactic Heroes I so
cherish, and one or two of these have almost got to the
paint-and-try-not-to-hurl stage.

Me: Please! We're trying to show enough enthusiasm to give it a try again
ourselves. Don't through cold water! ;->=

Me: Love it dearly myself. While he never claimed to have invented it, we in
the US do owe a thanks for his effort towards the 1996 act that helped
encourage infrastructure building.

I think you'll find the game as simple or as complex as you wish, and don't
wait for other figures to get started. Lovely though they are, and useful as
the Fleet Book fleets are when dealing with the rabid WYSISWYG crowd, flying
small toys or even pieces of trash (see above) can be quite satisfying.

Thrust early, and often!

Do be sure to show us pics of these. Heck, I'd be interested in seeing your
WIP pics. I too have been obsessed with the LOGH ships since I saw them ages
ago, but have never been able to scored any of the fleet scale models they
have released. I've long been looking to build something that has the same
character. I keep hoping that Jon will put out a fleet that borrows it's
design elements from that series.

Breath holding continues to be contra-indicated...

However, I'll see what I can do.

Just for grins, see why mould shift on plastic cutlery has caused me to weep
and moan:

Paint images done badly from when I was going to write a small web article,
but you should get the idea.
