This journal is top notch...certainly better than having your eye gouged out with a rusty spoon by a 2nd year intern at 3 in the morning. I hope we can meet at a convention some time. I'll say it again, this is simply amazing.

I've kind of been waiting for the final entry, but what the heck. Outstanding work here Mark...the texture effect you've achieved with the tiles is fabulous. It really does look more like a movie prop than Lego. I can't wait to see it completed. OK, now stop fooling around and get back to work...it's not going to build it self you know. ;-)

This should, no, will be amazing when its finished.

I'm a bit late on this, sorry. While the glueing is definitely upsetting the quality of this is still outstanding. I'm glad to see it's progressing and I can only invision in my head what it will look like when it's done. You've done a great job with the dome part to the second half...I can't wait to see the final of that. Excelent work!

Glue? GLUE?!!! Blasphemy! Heresy! Sacrilege! Mr. Kelso, I respect your building skills enough to find that very disillusioning. But it's all right -- you'll get what you deserve when at some point down the line you find that you again need to disassemble that section you glued. It's inevitable, you know...

I wish you luck! Take courage and finish it! ;)

I'm Glad to see you're at it again - it sounds like some others emailed you as well...ah, peer pressure! I'll look forward to seeing what you do with the back end. The front half's looking great! Don't give up...must (cough!)...keep (wheeze!)...building!

Don't drop it.

Alright! He's back! These journal entries always make me weak at the knees dude. Seriously! Great to see you're continuing the monstrosity. As magnificent as the finished ship will be, I'll actually feel a little sad that it's all over. In the meantime, let me paraphrase Monty Burns: "I'll keep it short and sweet -- Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in Lego."

Coming together very nicely. I had to laugh out loud at your gluing pieces together - I just about did that with my mech that kept losing its legs. It was only its temporary existence that prevented me from doing so. This model, I imagine, will stay together for a very long time. Good to see you back. Lee.

Are you at a standstill? It just seems as if it's coming along more slowly that the 1-2 transition. I'm excited to see the outcome of this behemoth. Good luck!

Thanks alot!!! My cockatiel, Paw-Paw, threw up at your glory!!! You're too good...

I've been following along with this project for a while now and I've gotta say it's just amazing. I just know the finished version will be a masterpiece. That's some true dedication there to be working on this for so long.

Wow very cool, its coming along very nicely. I can't wait to see it when its done!

Coming along excellently cant wait too see it finished! -Chris

Wow, I'm not even a SW fan, but I would love to have that sitting on my shelf right now. Excellent job!!!

Wow, you have done an amzing job so far, keep on going. The ship is looking better and better. I can't wait to see it completely finished.

I'm not sure what amazes me more, the model itself or your sheer determination to complete this beast. Please, don't give up.
