Thank you kindly, Gil. I’ve always admired your work, but I don’t know if I’ve had the opportunity to say so. So, there it is.

Speaking of ‘departure’, those 1x6x6 slopes have an infuriating tendency to leap off of their point of attachment at the slightest whim. I’m all too familiar with their hollow sound as they connect with horizontal surfaces. (I might have to sample that and use it for percussion.) But, yeah, I like the look... I’m a little retro myself, come to think of it.

I hope you will forgive my late response. I had imagined I’d get to this sooner, but here it is later. (‘Now’ is usually the best time to actually do something you’ve been meaning to.) I’ve just put up some more build pics with commentary on my MOC page. So, this is also a follow up to my other post about build notes.

I’ve set the FUT to schleim, as that may be more suitable for any questions etc. (and .space is so busy these days;-)

Peace and schleim,

Professor Whateverly
