I wouldn't either, but it is kind of a nice view of the future, I
think maybe that's why some people are really into it. All in all
though if you monitor the space building group you won't find anything
even remotely as accurate and well built as the ones I did. In fact
after recently scanning through Brickshelf I found someone who had
made a similar shuttle (to the small one), in fact the upper front top
portion was nearly identical. Not that it would surprise me since I
had the instructions up on my site for a couple months before I took
the whole thing down. Their's was alright, white isn't really my
favorite color scheme, but the detachable add ons they made were
pretty cool. I believe they called it the Worker Bee or something.

Nope, I put it up on Brickshelf about a month ago, in fact that was
the first thing I posted under Robert.

Prototype? You mean you're copying something? I mean my shuttle
moc's are pretty good, but I don't consider it to be really good work
since I was only copying. BTW would it be asking too much for a link
to some of your stuff, you have piqued my curiosity. : )

| (...) People always copy real prototypes with their Lego, being a copy of a real thing doesn't affect how good it is. If it's a copy of a prototype you rate it on how good is it as a model and then how accurately the model portrays the prototype. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
