Btw, can you tell us about the two modlex transformers? Those rock.



The two which fit in the dropship were made as somewhat smaller verions of the bigger ones in my other galleries. Downsizing was accomplished mainely by using the knights kingdom hinges (2x3) instead of two standard (2x2) ones. Also the side of the modlex were limited to 1 additional brick on both sides so they can fit both in the hangar bay.

In robot mode they are very usefull on any location as they can be used to build large bases or for defence. Once transformed they’re mainly used as fighters or as espionage ships. They’re fast, and whith a surprise if discovered.

What makes a modlex so useful - besides the obvious stated above - is that only a small hangar and a few technical personel can adapt the transforming mode from a speeder to a plane, a car, a boat for incursion on a technologically young planet or they can be made into ultra-sophisticated intersideral space fighters.

Finally the two above were fun to build, have a high playability rate and they can even be taken on vacation, together with a few pieces they can last for hours of fun - if you’re tired from the swimming or musea, that is.

cheers,

Didier

ps: They’ll be at legoworld in Zwolle (NL) later this year.
