LEGO Digital Designer (http://www.lego.com/ldd)

Anyone seen this?  I discovered this cool tool yesterday.

I'm curoius if anyone has built anything (ship particularly) with it.  I spent a little bit last night on a warship -ish thing.  

If you have please post pics...

I'll get mine up in a little bit.

Hehe yup.

This is a button that makes all the peices fly away then come back together.  That looks pretty cool.

My brother and I used to build lego ships and throw the remaining bricks at them to simulate laserfire. The last model left in one piece won ;)
