Nice, very spooky and atmospheric- if I can use that phrase about space!

It looks like it either met with a small asteroid or maybe even more evilly sinister, it was boarded by an unknown lifeform and infested!!!!

I like a bit of sci-fi as it allows a little artisitic liscense! Lovely job Eddie.

Well done Eddie.  Will it boldly go?
Will it make that strange muffled roaring sound that we hear in all the space movies - you know, that place which is a vacuum and where sound is impossible?   %%

LOL, I know what you mean regarding the sound effects.


Nope, this baby is dead in space, just a drifting hulk...bit like my boats used to be for that matter. {-)
