   Hi all,

yes, I have been quiet...been busy with SciBrick stuff and a few other things, but I built a shuttle for my sigfig, good ol’ .space paparazzi!

and here it is:



  
and the folder:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=549950

This is a short-range shuttle used by the Paparazzi to get to those places where there is need of a person who has a particularly nosy camera:)

SP is a freelancer by trade, and is highly regarded by some, disregarded by others. Such is his life, tho, and he wouldn’t have it any other way!

And if you’re wondering about him having just a shuttle....there’s going to be more. Really!

PLMKWYT!

Joe Meno .space paparazzi!

This is a lot of fun Joe....and I imagine more complex to build than it’s shape tells. I often find that with all the pushing we do to ourselves here to discover new and as yet unseen element combinations, it becomes more difficult to build the ‘swooshers’ that got us started in the first place. This is an excellent example...simplicity, function and a clean aesthetic.

Nice stuff!

Cheers, -Gil

This was a really fun build, and one that had it’s share of interesting problems...the interior is about a two plates short of minifig with helmet height, for one. So it’s cramped:)

But I really love the form it ended up being, especially when the engines fell into place. And it has a nice swoosh factor, probably the best I have done in that respect.

Thanks for your comments!

Joe
