Hi everyone,
After moving house and starting a course in electronics engineering, my Lego
building time has been a little on the non-existant side. I got inspired
after looking over some cool space stuff on brickshelf and decided to go
ahead with a design that I'd sketched out around a year ago.
So here it is, the Mantaclaw Space Service Vehicle:

The model was half an experiment in building with "minimal visible studs"
techniques. I think it turned out quite nicely.
Feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!
Zac Soden

| (...) Zac, Wow, I like this, it has everything; back story, desriptive text and a cool MOC. It's refreshing to see something besides the usual fighters. It reminds me of Alvin, with the color scheme and manipulator arms. Thanks, George (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| Zac, This is an exceptional MOC. You did a great job with the detailing of tools and thrusters while at the same time keeping it clean. (the thruster packs on the sides are really neato). Best thing is the clean color lines. Makes me think of old (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) Zac, This ship is really great: neat function and design! I like the detailed yet uncrowded engines and the panel above them. I too think the thruster packs are spiffy. Keep up the excellent work! ciao&salaam -Andrew (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| Oh, wow. This is a masterpiece of utilitarian Lego. I just love the way you did the shape. It gives it the right feeling of a clunky but somehow elegent service vehicle. I love all the details, such as the thruster blocks and the arms, and the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| I've always loved tugs and other spacedock ships...this one definately rates as one of the best I've seen. Aside from the wonderful use of greebs, articulated bit and such, I think what really makes if for me is the sloped & hinged red walls of the (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
