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!

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 didn’t like.
Other favorite, thought-provoking things I have learned from this MOC:
- green & dark gray to together, and not necessarily to make a military color
scheme!
- cool MOCs can be made without sacrificing playability! You can
swoosh it around the house with the Warp Sled, and then detach for misions in
the kitchen!
Awesome, Joe!
