Well, seeing at the Lenny has already spotlighted this on the .Space sidebar, I
figure I better announce it properly.
This is, most likely, my last creation before I leave for college.
(I leave wednesday afternoon for the University of Cincinnati, majoring in
architecture)
(click the pic)
No subtheme, no backstory. I had a dream on September 5th which was set in a
realistic sci-fi world, and there was a ship like this one. It went fast.
I also took pictures of anything that is in-progress, as it will be in that
state until I come home for Thanksgiving or something, you can find those
pictures in this Flickr
photoset.

Hey Kev,
Good luck with the new college term. The ship is cool, but what I’m really
digging are these
microscale buildings. I hope you get a chance soon to work on those.

By "airships for the micro floating rock" would that be refering to
the Sanctaphrax from the Edge Chronicles?

Just seemed kind of similar - like from the publisher's site
http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/edgechronicles/index.php?p=explore
The stories involve a city built on a giant floating rock, and "sky
pirates" that adventure in "sky ships".
It's a light but entertaining read...

That could equally well describe the Miyazaki film 'Laputa'
I bet thats slightly better known too :)

They are some compact, well designed buildings. I echo Bruces sentiments on
hoping to see these finished.

I suspect your Neutronbot comrade may have had as much to do with this moc than
your dream. Soren is dreamy...in a howdy-doody kind of way. At least you are
inspired by the best.

The yellow diamonds are a nice touch though. Have a good semester.

Right... well, bye Lugnet. That’s it for me.

Wait! Please stay, we need good builders like you. Your creations help make it
fun.
I hope all these constant attacks and slights on each other all go away.
Make it about the MOCs and the Brick itself, as it always was and should be.
That is why we are here to share the fun we get from building.
Some how it has mutated in to something else. All of you who read this have the
keys to make it better.
Need the answer? Look at the smile on the Lego mini-fig's face. That's the
answer.
All others maintain distance from the mirror.

Don't cry for him, Argentina, the truth is he never left you. He kept his

You must be reading a different Lugnet to the one I am reading. I see a great
deal of humour (albeit somewhat puerile) and some fairly creative MOC building
going on. The closest you get to attacks and slights seem to come mostly from
the people that don’t see the humour (or perhaps even see that it is humour).
Picture it like a cinema. There might be a black comedy from France showing next
to the latest Adam Sandler film (if you had a really weird cinema). Some people
will find the Adam Sandler film puerile and dull and others will find the French
film just odd and maybe even mean, but neither group is going to deny the other
shouldn’t exist. We should all take a lesson from this amazing cinema.

Agreed! Tell a bad joke to a minifig and he’ll (yes I’m aware that there are
female minifigs but statistically it will probably be a he) keep on smiling.

Not entirely sure what you mean here but if it’s about humour I’m all for it :)

Yes, I think some people here have been stuck in orbit around Sirius.
In the week that Bonktron emerges from below the asteroid belt, who would have
imagined a flotilla of similar shaped craft would follow.

The classic smiley looks like he has popped one of Stanley Scibricks ‘e’s.
There are plenty of oddball/strange minifig faces too.

Like a case of Type-2 Herpes, I think you’ll be back.

I see you left yourself an out. Well done, you wouldn’t want to be one of those
knobs who makes a grand fairwell post and then comes back 3 months later. As
for the “idiot”, what do you suggest? We could chastise him...banish him...call
him rude names in a chatroom...send him an autograph photo of ++Lar in a
thong...rip his fingers off with a claw-hammer...or just cap him. Sorry, I
guess you’d have to come back to comment.
If I had known it was so easy to drive you from the land, I’d have compared one
of your previous mocs to an adult novelty item some time ago.

Hey, can we leave the Bonktron comments to the items that specifically state
they are Bonktron creations? (me, personally, doesn’t find much merit or taste
in the Bonktron stuff, but that’s me).
Kevoh,
Good luck in college--you’re in a great city for architecture, as many of the
NMRA attendees can attest to. Make sure you go to Museum Center and check out
the architecture in that building. You might even see it’s LEGO replica on
display there soon!)

Bonktron comes in many guises, we must maintain vigilance. Mock-Bonktron mocs
must be unmasked. Ned Flanders appears to come in many guises too.

In a creative field like architecture, critical appraisal awaits, be prepared.

Bonktron laid the benchmark. If you build in that style in the same week, it’s
within context to reference it in any critique. I’m a stickler for accuracy.
That’s Bonktron with a ‘B’ and pete with a ‘p’.
gods peed.
