Here’s Slick Octan in his racer, the Slick Brick. And before you start, I
know it isn’t Octan colors. Read the page for the explanation if you care.
It’s loaded with
features- a detailed interior including two storage lockers and plenty of
controls, folding landing gear, opening cockpit, and interchangeable engine
cores.
This is the fourth
ship I’ve done in my series of racers. Though it isn’t the longest, it is by
far the heaviest. The construction is very plate-heavy and SNOTty, with studs
pointing in all 6 directions. In terms of colors, it’s also the loudest. I was
trying to match the Racers canopy and fig.
Anyway, here is a shot of all
four. Clockwise, from top left: The Slick Brick, Grace,
Teardrop Racer, and the
Nebula-III.

| Tony, You seem to have found that building wind. This racer is quite nice - both its studlessness and all the interactive features you built in - stuff like the lockers and the neato landing gear. I also enjoy the implied violence of the racing (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
