Team Kosh

Been meaning to scan this one for a while. A few years back, we built a vorlon for the Eastercon masquerade (Intervention in 1997). We got "Best Alien" (we might have been happier about that if there were any other aliens) and a huge round of applause (which is what we were really after)
