I uploaded some pictures that I'm using for a new blacktron website. Just a sampling of some of the stuff that will be on the site. There is a Blacktron APC, as well as the big lander which is done on the outside. A supply truck with ejection chair (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.space) !

The lander is done on the outside. I'll finish detailing the interior before I take pictures of it. I will also finish my Message Relay Base before taking pics of that. I'll post the web page when all of the models have been documented. So it may be (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

Pat, Excellent, excellent models. You really captured the Blacktron look and feel with these models, and they are really outstanding. I had a question in regards to the APC. How did you do the steering for the APC? Did you have to sacrifice some (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

I used the technic steering assembly found an many cheaper Technic models. It did take up a good sized chunk of floor space, but it looks cool as a sterring assenbly and drive unit. The APC can fit 5 minifigs plus the driver (6 in the back if they (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

An anteater because of the snout like front. My early gestural drawings of the ship made it look like a rhino. Which it still kinda does, but the cockpit makes it look like some kind of freaky alien rhino thing. Maybe it is like some sort of (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

Those control tiles also come in blacktron sets. I wanted to stay faithful to the original Blacktron series by only using parts from those sets. There are a few exceptions though (for example the yellow 4x4 rounds usedin the engines of te lander). (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)
