The weekend before BrickFest, the GA was sharing his Grand Spiffcraft with me,
and I was inspired to create my own giant Spiffcraft. I originally planned on
doing only a minifig version, but my brother encouraged me to create a scale
Spaceman Spiff for the ship. So, I built both. The different interiors easily
swap out of the center section.
I built the whole thing in two days and two evenings to complete it in time to
bring it to BrickFest. Details include landing gear which is entirely geared
together so that all the legs move simultaneously, fiberoptic engines,
retracting guns (an idea obviously stolen from Mark), and a loading ramp that
hinges down from the ship.
Please LMKWYT! Comments, questions, criticisms, etc encouraged.

| (...) This is incredibly good Bram. I love it. The interchangable interiors is the icing on the cake. I don't think I've ever seen a MOC that runs on 2 different scales. Amazing. (URL) j o n (URL) zemi.net> (URL) the-shipyard> (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) And to think this whole thing came from your opinion that I should have used the big domes on my Grand Spiffcraft :) I like it. You incorporated features like triple landing gear and a ramp which I sacrificed for interior details and rooms. (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Bram, awesome. Like Jon said, the fact that this works on two scales is really cool. And as much as I love the minifig scale stuff, that Spaceman Spiff just takes it. Great job. (URL) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Bram, Beautiful design, and very clever that you can swap out the interior to have either a Calving and Hobbes sculpture or a minifig ship. My favorite detail is probably the expression on Spiff's face. Priceless. Bruce (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Bram, Bill Watterson would be proud! This is fantastic. I much prefer the Calvin version than the minifig version. More true to the original. I wish I had the ability to do landing gear like that. My brain doesn't think mechanically that well. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hi Bram Wow! Your spaceships looks pretty cool and very well build. Once again it is proven that you can actually build some pretty round shapes using the rather "blocky" lego bricks. I like all those little gadgets ... the fiber optic should be a (...) (21 years ago, 21-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
