Hi all,
After Brickfest, I was in the recovery mode and took care of the August NCLUG
meeting.
During the meeting Cary Clark gave out his monthly Useless Part, which was:
a shuttle wing
Now, to me, this is not a useless part, but a Limited Use part..the Useless Part
he gave that was really useless was this part he gave three months ago:
this electric light thingie
Well, the Useless Part Challenge was on, and well, while I wasn’t successful
with the light thingie, I wanted to use the wings (I got three - Thanks Cary!)
And I had a seed of an idea, which gave me another parameter to use. I wanted to
use green, since I have a large amount that is rather unused by me.
The end result of this is:
the Knight Enterprises Rear Mounted Interstellar Transport!
why is it rear mounted?
it has a warp sled!

I was looking at the first pic, and loved the powersled look - then lo and behold, you actually make it detachable! That's too sweet. I'll be back with more (...)

| Very cool. Neat use of those stinger things, they work really well to give it shape. The way you photographed it though, the whole thing looks teal. Which, I think, makes it look even nicer actually. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) You also have another obnoxiously big part in there - the green Flash Speeder nose on the front of the shuttle! And it looks good! I love seeing Useless Parts in action. It gives the me hope that I can actually use all the pieces I thought I (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Joe, that thing is awesome. Excellent use of color, and hard to use pieces. I love the use of glowing green highlights they tie in the light up pieces very nicely. Job well done. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for proving once again that there's no such thing as a useless part with this excellent MOC. I love it. It looks supremely swooshable, and the extra playablilty of the detachable sled is a winner. My 5yo son* would love to play with (...) (21 years ago, 3-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Joe, I think you are one of the premier colour builders here. Between your seamonkey stuff and your space dabblings, you bring together such wow forms out of often limited part selection due to colour. This is a prime example. Just gorgeous, (...)
