This is great.  I lOVE the job you did on these.  Now I wish I was born
early enough to get some Blacktron and SPI...

That is just so cool.  I love all the opening and detatching and whizzing
and popping out things in the Blacktron craft... and I like the story of the
space Police one.

The Blacktron ship actually looks like it does something usefull, with those
big cargo pods.

Nice job.

Started as a Brickfest project, the original Desperado suffered
slight...structural failure...when I tried to move the assembled ship.  Too
many modules, too little support.

The DZ is made up of over fifty modules and small craft, most of which can
be reconfigured and connected together in the classic Blacktron style.  Even
the Space Police ship uses the Blacktron modularity system.

By the way, if anyone knows who created the original Blacktron Perseus hard
suit - my varient is seen here:

please let me know so I can credit them.  I saved a picture off a web page a
long time ago, and now I can't find the page again.

PLMKWYT!

I wish I had bought more at the time. It wasn't exactly a dark age for me, but it was prior to accepting my full AFOL-ness. Blacktron means play value to me, and that's what I was going for - lots of bits for lots of fun. Scott (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)
