Hiya, Here's a look at my new MOC the AstroFoxx. It is a Fluxocraft EX-108 Transport. The Fluxocraft line is made to be modified by the consumer and the AstroFoxx is no exception. The AstroFoxx has been outfitted with 2 Havoc XL drive pods for (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc) !

Very cool Chris. I spotted the crew teaser on Brickshelf a day or so ago and have been looking forward to the unveiling. There is just somthing about tramp freighters just barely on the right side of the law that fits just perfectly with the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Our parsec gauge only goes to 11. So we have to say the Kessel run is done in 11 parsecs. What she'll make past light speed has yet to be determinied ;-) Thanks for the compliment!! Chris <>< (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks! I looked at my "legoverse" and I had no shady characters. So it was fun coming up with one. The clean shaven, no eyebrows, bald spaceman needs some spice in his life. I'm hoping to start a moonbase module for a home for Myra. Oh, I (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

Ooh, I like it. I have to admit I'm partial to that windscreen scheme. The engines are way cool, though it made my first impression of the ship "Star Trek gone bad." Nice layout of the interior, though I don't see much cargo space. Maybe I just (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

Wow! Those canopies and the circular engine pieces work well. Very cool shape. I also love all the detail and rooms you packed in. Great idea of using a cape for the bathroom curtain! Great job! -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hey, thanks! The bathroom curtain I believe came from Kyle Keppler. (certainly not original to me). It's great for making a door that doesn't use valuable stud space for interiors. Thanks again, Chris <>< (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hmm, I know I used that design in my ship, but if I remember right, I ripped it off of someone.. Tim Coutney maybe? (That's funny, cause it's not like he ever builds anything ;-P). Ps. Nice ship chris, I really dig the windshield and the big (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well... I don't think they had to fudge together that excuse. A Parsec (parallax-second) is defined by Earth's motion around the Sun. How would Han know (being from a galaxy long, long ago and far, far away) how we would define a Parsec? ;) (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
