Since I use webtv...loading took some time, but was wekk worth the wait = )
Ahhhhh <sigh> trans yellow 4x10 plates, classic gray landing plates and
Blacktron....ohh to be young again...lol
My brief Dark Age was in college, so I missed much of Blacktron...I only
have some figs from eBay auctions and minifig pacs...
I think you captured and executed the modularity that was the Strength and
innovation of Blactron 1 ...I love your variations in combining the
modules...wow you could easily integrate these containers, etc into a fleet.
You have inspired me...I have been focusing on Castle/Ninja creations
lately, but Space was my most beloved theme prior to the Yellow Castle era...
I love taking Lego models and modifying them...Classic space was great for
this...even some town.
I critiscized the "wheels as engines" thing a long tome ago, but now I have
seen the light...the contours of these pieces matched w/ your creativity is
enogh to change my mind....that Mos Espa set is more appealing all the time.
It's great to see some of your work after seeing your eBay acquisitions (you
beat me a few times...lol)

I love multiple occupant cockpits...such a challenge, but rewrding when you
get it right...
Angled plates just kept finding a good place

I love it when a plan comes together...when all the bricks find a home in
seconds, minutes...

I think your pictures worked out well, I am getting used to my Soy Mavica; I
can't photograph black well at all
= (
I REALLY wish a 3x3

I have never worked / the elements you have from Blactron, but your ideas
for new parts seem very logical...

I just got some of these wheels in a big lot...I now have a new use...
I also had fun working the electrical components in.
a great bonus....
