Hey Kevin, Great MOC! You should consider entering this in the "Da Vinci" category in the Colossal Castle Contest on Classic-Castle.com. Bruce (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Nice job, Kevin. I've never seen one one these modeled in Lego before. Where did you get the idea? Somehow, the movie Waterworld comes to mind. My favorite detail is the wizard's hat.

(...) Lots to like there in a very small space. It's like an "air vignette"! I think my fave part is the wizard's hat. We get so used to using the cast hat that we all forget that there are other ways to make it! That's pretty clever. Are the rubber (...)

Hello. I made a one-man airship. The person peddles to make the flap-dealies move, causing the whole thing to move. I used Bruce Lowells sphere. This particular cycloplin has been around for a while, so the owner, a wizard, has had to patch a few (...)

Hi, Lenny. Hey, remember when we first met in person at BrickFest PDX, and we talked about how people's visages don't always match up to how you've pictured them in your mind?
