Cool- I love the venting- both on the sides with wings and the rear using
ladders. The use of smooth panel (World City roof/hood) parts on the sides
works well too. And the headlights look surprisingly good- I wouldn’t have
tried those on a MOC this small. The tubes on the inside even add to the
headlight effect- beautiful!
I’m not crazy about the color choices for
some of the detailing, but then it may look better in person. The lighting
makes it hard to see stuff.

Thanks Tony. (For your comments and for posting the links during the brickshelf
transition)
That smooth panel actually started the idea rolling. Glad you like it. The
headlights just had to be (and they practically wrap around), and those neon
green lightsabers have a wonderful fiberoptic quality just with ambient light.
Speaking of which, yeah, the light wasn’t the greatest. I couldn’t wait for
daylight, and I think it suits the model, but you’re right about it being a
little hard to see. That’s the dark red and dark blue with sand blue 1x2 grilles
sandwiched between the dark gray (try it), which does look good to me, but then
I may have a higher ‘colour-tolerance’ than some ;-) The whole thing is
resonating with a lot of stuff in my memory that I can’t quite pin down and a
few things that I can, such as the ‘66 Chrysler New Yorker I learned to drive
in. So, your mileage may vary...

It also features that canopy that Tony Hafner recently
mastered with a different
hinging system. (See it
closed and
open)

Heh- thanks for the nod!

You’re welcome.
Peace and dim lighting,
