                        I'm having fun trying to identify the donor parts...

                        I see some Soviet spare fuel tanks and fenders (T-72 maybe?), an automotive transmission, and what appears to be R2-D2's head... Cool [8D]

                        Hahahahaha..youre right about the T72 fuel tanks and fenders. The R2D2 looking thing is actually a wheel hub with bits glued on.

                        That is one mean looking ship! I hope it's on our side. Big Smile [:D] The level of detail is amazing.
