Thanks for the kind compliment Urobach. I, as a keen follower, of course have great respect for your own work.
"Competitor" however is too strong a word. As Daboss said yesterday there is much to be had for us all in seeing a great diversity of different build projects.
In the Bab 5 universe, [3rd Space inclusive], I am merely happy to selfishly scratchbuild a few ships here & there and if I am fortunate and able enough to pass on some skills and tips in my build instructions, so as to encourage others to try their hand at scratchbuilding, then that is the icing on the cake for me.
Maybe someday, and in a different universe, we can indeed have a competition.
