What you see is the result of fairly freeform building. I just put the bricks
together and watched it evolve. The duplo egg caused it’s own problems - it
just doesn’t fit together very securely. In the end I had to increase the
diameter of the holes at each end to allow a technic axle to pass through,
which allowed a reasonably secure construction. If that upsets the purists,
so be it.

I am very much a freeform builder, so I’m very impressed with what you did.
There’s a lot of details that I find really nice, such as the cockpit consoles
(on a rounded armrest, no less!) I also like the aft end with the block cones
around the core.

The pilot has no easy method of getting in and out, and the intention to put
landing gear on the lower two arms was tossed aside as too difficult, but
other than that I’m reasonably happy with the overall form, but mostly happy
that the thing is just finished ;)

I see this craft as a space only ship that lands in a cradle. And the Duplo pod
is an escape pod.

Yes, it’s another red/black build from me. That’s mainly due to me having the
greatest variety of parts in those colours. I’m content to leave the
flaunting of rare colours to those with more extensive collections/ less
limited budgets :) Besides, I like red.

They are not bad as colors, it’s just that black photographs lousy. I like red
and white, tho that can be traced to those being my school and college colors:)
Good job all around!

| Hi all. Some time ago, inspired by some outstanding creations seen here, I purchased some duplo eggs without a clear idea of what I would do with them. After a few weeks I pulled one out and started building with it without a clear idea of where I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX) !
