Ok, all you .space folks, consider this model my tribute to the 25th
anniversary of one of my favorite sets growing up. Coming in at
somewhere over 10 pounds, and at over 27 inches in length is a
3-times-scale model of the LL924 Space Cruiser:

I tried to mimic its look and functionality as prescisely as possible.

cheers,

eric harshbarger

(...) What a beautiful illusion. Like others, I had to toggle back and forth to get a sense of the construction. The stud capping is brilliant. But that up for auction and I'm sure you can retire afterwards. :) Cheers, -G (21 years ago, 9-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

Eric, Beautiful! 487 was my first large set as a kid, so this is a really nostalgic MOC for me. You did the scale-up so well that it's hard to see the scale until you have the picture of the maxi-sized and classic 487 next to eachother. The mini (...) (21 years ago, 9-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
