|
|
Here is my (lame) entry for the Lame parts contest. I'm building another, much better one, which should be done soon, but for now... The Wibble are a peculiar race that evolved in an asteroid belt. Intrepid Wibble explorers move around using craft (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

Hi Michael, I like it! The rowboat looks good turned backwards and you chose a good sail. Probably one of the few with a design that might be mistaken for space. The manta fits in good as well. Better than in my entry. The Wibble is fun too. I (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Josh, thanks for the compliments! The Wibble was initially just a way to use two more lame pieces, but I think it looks cute :) It is held together with boring old Blu-tack (a bit of a cop-out, but unavoidable in the circumstances). And a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey, nice job Michael! I like it- while it does use a rowboat, manta ray, and sail, it does not look 'forced'- the engines and the hoses on the side help it look like a spaceship. Can't wait for your next entry! Oh, and the Wibble is nice too! :) (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Nice one. The rowboat especially is integrated nicely. I look forward to seeing the next one. Are you coming to the BUGs meeting? Bring it along if you do - it'll look good sitting next to my own lamepartcraft the Duckfish. I'll put it up on (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! I think placing certain restrictions can actually help one's creativity a lot. I hope a lot of other people enter this contest; show the world there's no such thing as a 'specialized' piece :) (...) They're still floating around... (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'll be there! (I'll drop you an email for the address.) Very good use of the saucer sections on the Duckfish, btw. I reckon they're the lamest part of all, even though they were originally meant for space :) Michael Dallaston (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
