 | | The Slick Brick —Tony Hafner

| | | Here's Slick Octan in his racer, the Slick Brick. And before you start, I know it isn't Octan colors. Read the page for the explanation if you care.

| | | | | (...) I don't post here often, but I loved this MOC. I love the methods you used to achieve studlessness (SNOT instead of tiles). I was digging it through the first 12 pictures, but number 13, the landing gear, is what got me to reply. The way it is (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) Wow- thanks a ton! The SNOT construction was an integral design choice because otherwise I'd have to tile a huge surface below the canopy and this seemed much cleaner. The implementation turned out to be a lot more work, but it did pay off. (...) (20 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Very nice. The cockpit is my favorite part. With the shape and colors, it looks like it would be at home underwater too. David (20 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

It even fits nicely into the multi-environment racing theme, though this ship's nose is a little on the flat side for water. (2 URLs) AndroDan>> Tony (...)

|
| | | | | | (...) Wow, everyone likes the landing gear. Thanks so much for the kind words. Details and functionality seem to be easier on smallish models. I can't touch what you do on your usual scale, though. I have enough trouble greebling a 4x10 surface and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The transgreen plates at an angle, the tight solid form, the little spindly legs... but, most of all the rake; it just says 'vroom!' (...) (20 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | Tony, You seem to have found that building wind. This racer is quite nice - both its studlessness and all the interactive features you built in - stuff like the lockers and the neato landing gear. I also enjoy the implied violence of the racing (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | (...) The studlessness is something I'm forcing myself to do. I don't think I'll do a ton of 99% studless vehicles like this one, but I wanted to go to the extreme and then back off to find a good balance for future models. And the play features are (...)
