I curse you for how awesome this looks Chris ;)

This totally hit the mark for the 'tween theme.  As soon as I saw those ball
sockets in the Ep II sets I thought 'rocket nozzle'.  Looks like you thought
the same and employeed them in a most excellent fashion...they fit the
timeline wonderfully.

I think the best thing about this model is the underside....the hoses,
ventral thruster and landing gear look so spacey retro.

Congrats!

And curse you.

Cheers,

It is a quick hop lander with mobile lab and scanning equipment.

A ship that the Lego Space Command split into two vehicles in the Classic
Space Age. Combining the hoppin' tech of http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6806

Hope you guys enjoy the new season of Pre-classic space.  (it will be better
publicized than last year :-D )

P.S. For those who don't know, I started building ships last year that
"bridged the gap" between Life On Marz to Classic Space.  Just for fun.  It
yielded a few models:
The LL-X1 (grandpa to big CS ships):
