Greetings, all.
It has been a while since I built anything new or posted it to LUGNET. I have
been in (somewhat) regular contact with Kyle Keppler and Tim Courtney about my
status (still unemployed), plus I recently just survived a traffic accident.
Anyway, that's all water under the bridge. In preparation for the humongous
space base I am planning, I thought I'd preface it with a quick MOC called the
Galaxy Enforcer (after the Galaxy Explorer -- you get an A). You can view it
at:

Which is just about all you can do very soon because I'm going to strip this
puppy for needed parts. Here are a few details:
The canopy opens a full 90 degrees. The two bottom *gif files (bottom1 and
bottom2) show the rear landing gear retracted and raised. The front wheel
actually turns. Yeah, yeah, I know...what does a space fighter need with
wheels? I just think retractable landing gear is neat, that's all. For that
matter, what does a space fighter need with a tail? Again...
The two main outer guns were taken from the Millenium Falcon model (LEGO
#7190). There are also four additional guns, one pair directly beneath the
cockpit and the other pair on either side of the fuselage behind the cockpit.
I built the missles using alternating gray and white 2x2 round bricks --
alternating because I thought they would stand out more.
Now, I know the MOC looks like a mutated F16, but that's just the way it turned
out.
====================
Quick Note related to the "From" line: If there is a LEGO group here in Austin,
I have yet to discover a way to contact them. If there isn't, well...at least
now you know a potential name. Cheers.
====================
Keep up the good building.
Sincerely,
Pat Hough

| (...) I am impressed with some features of the space craft but you are correct in saying that this space craft resembles a F-16, which it does quite resemble that particular aircraft. I am not impressed, however, that you have used some names for (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space)
