|
| | | | | | (...) Gosh, thanks. I haven't built anything for a few weeks (renovating the Lego room), so I started this just to get my eye in again, before tackling my 'real' entry. The cockpit uses typical classic space styling, and came together very quickly. (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) I spent the longest time working on the landing gear - mostly because they were put in after the fuselage had been built, and I hadn't left enough room for them. The red Classic Space fig was always my favourite as a kid. I never had a blue or (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) What a great idea! Maybe it's a little big for a P-38, but sometimes bigger is better ;) You've definitely raised the bar in the contest. TRS (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Well, nothing in the rules says it has to be the same size as the real one. Nothing's stopping anyone from making a tri-fuselage capship. Besides, a typical singe seat space vehicle is by necessity going to be larger than an atmospheric craft. (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks. I only built this because I was having a touch of builders block. When that happens, it's best to just start building something, and Classic Space, even after a 20 year dark age, is still something I can almost do blindfolded. Cheers, (...)

| | | | | | (...) It's a funny thing about classic space. It's a fairly clunky style without any particularly cunning building techniques using fairly basic pieces, but it seems to be the one theme that is loved by everyone. Building this was a deliberate ploy (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
