You can see the large '71' there on both sides, but next to it, there is a small icon of a snake's head. Underneath the snake is a collection of letters which probably won't make sense to most who buy this set:
"NNENN"
The snake is a viper, and this ship is the designer's contribution to the popular "Vic Viper" building style popularized by the great, and late, Nate "Nnenn" Nielson. This is a fantastic tribute to a builder who inspired thousands around the globe.

I'm guessing, but don't know for sure, that '71' refers to the year Nate was born. Is there anyone that can confirm this?
wow man thanks thats a big fact that should be on the frontpage
