As promised, I looked for my old microscale models in the basement this • weekend.

There you will find a 483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base (a.k.a. 920 Launch Pad) as
well as a 6861 X-1 Patrol Craft.

Those are some great sets you chose to work with.  6861 was my very first
lego set ever (back in the day).  I lost the instructions a long, long time
ago and all I could remember about it was a green wind shield, but a couple
years ago I figured out which set it must have been, and what do ya know - I
still had all the pieces I needed in my parts bin!  Anyway, that set is
special to me, so nice choice and nice work on it.  The Alpha 1 is also one
of my first sets and you did a great job on that too.  I'd suggest a 1x1
trans green plate with a 1x1 trans red one on the top of it for the top of
the rocket (instead of that 4 stud block with round plates all around).
Yours is more acurate to colors and locations, but it just looks too
big/blocky to me.  The rest is excellent.  Nice hack on the radar dish.

The Mobile Transport is just perfect as is!  I don't have that set but it's
on my wanted list.  I've always been an air-person, but that's one of the
few land units I really like.

As promised, I looked for my old microscale models in the basement this weekend. I came up empty. Where I thought I had put them I found only gutted remains. I now remember disassembling them for parts for the first ISCC and another contest. I don't (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.space) !!
