Your ability to cross themes (or completely ignore them) is amazing. I mean that
as a compliment, I hope it came out that way. You seem to have a terrific knack
for sculpting whatever it is you wish to create.

After browsing the concept gallery at CSF I was inspired to build another
“ship”. The original drawing was from the science fiction cover artwork by
Frank R. Paul on the Nov 1929 issue of Wonder Stories mag.

I think this project was a perfect match for me, aside from being another
fast and fun build, I got to mix my love of micro with my twisted retro space
interests, and as a bonus I got to exploit an interesting artist as well.

I think I mentioned to you on Sunday that one of the aspects of this model I
liked the most was the monochrome color scheme on the upper part. When you’re
using parts that are all the same color you’re relying entirely upon part
selection and attachment combinations to achieve the look you want. And I think
you really captured the look/feel of that magazine cover.
And for the record:
That picture was my lame attempt to color match the background of my photo with
your original source material. The original photo has much better color
properties. :)

and for Jason for babysitting my MOC until the next display of
it.

Actually, he told me privately this this was really his MOC and that you’d just
taken credit for it. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks Allan, that is actually a conscious choice, I have problem with living in
a box. I don’t want to master any theme, just be a jack of all, I still have a
few to hit.

Well that was my mistake as well, I said burgundy, but when I went back to look,
sure enough it was a bright pink, but beside that lapse in my own reality, I
like the effect you created.

Well when I let him out of his building slave cage he does create nice work,
freedom does wonders for the building soul... but when it comes right down to
it, they are still my bricks, therefore, still my MOC. LOL
