    I've had this ship built for over a year now.  I'm sure you guys at LUGCO
are thinking, "Why is Fuzzy just now getting around to posting that thing?"
The ship itself isn't all that big (14 inches long when closed), so I figured I
could keep it together without missing its constituenht pices until I got a
digital camera.  Well, I still don't have that digital camera... but my sister
does, so I used hers to take all these nifty pictures.
    This whole thing started as a joke really.  Over a year ago, Jon Palmer
told us that he was going to build a ship for every letter of the alphabet that
the Star Wars universe didn't already have one for.  As always, I had to think
of something funny in response.  "Wouldn't it be funny if peole started making
ships in the shape of punctuation marks to go along with your letter-shaped
fighters?" I said.
    Well, at least 2 people (Me and Micheal from LUGCO) have done this.  I know
it sounds crazy, but the result is actually a decent ship.  Anyway, here it
is--The ? Prisoner Transport:

That's one cool ship. I really like the shape when it's closed. It would still be cool if it couldn't open up, so the fact that it opens into a question mark is icing on the cake. I like the picture captions, too. It was nice getting to see it in (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.lugco, lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Punctuation-mark Fighter Project anyone? Aw, lets just do the whole ASCII character set. I have bags on "Ampersand". :-) Cheers, Paul (21 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
