I’ve been working on re-designing the Mobile Rocket Transport. I wanted to update the look and size of my favorite set as a kid.



Here’s some deeplinks:

Another announcement: CerebrumInc is evolving and moving to http://www.cerebruminc.blogspot.com. The URL www.CerebrumInc.com will still work and forward you to the new location (once my domain registrar updates my forwarding). Look for further updates concerning CerebrumInc’s evolution.

(...) AWESOME. Simply awesome. Everything about it is brilliant. I love those giant wheels!

(...) Looking nice, Philip! I really like the cleaniness and the smoothness of it. It brings back that old-school feel.

  Re: MRT II
