Like others have said, seeing this model immediately brang back memories of watching 2001: A Space Odyssey and hearing the accompanying music... Only a masterpiece of a MOC does that to you! :-) Phenomenal work Jason. I am floored by your solutions (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I made this fighter quite some time ago as my first use of 3x12 wedge slopes. At meetings this is the favourite with the kids, the stowed-weapon function makes it very playable. The canopy was originally trans-red, more recently I acquired a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Hi Ley, It's a clever design with some cool ideas, I particularly like the domed-cylinder-throu...the-arches thing. It seems like too radical a departure from the P-38 design to be a competitive entry, though. Is there a prize for the most (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Wow! That's aMAZing. Let me add to the chorus of accolades, very nice model. My questions are these: I'm not clear on how the centrifuge is arranged (I never figured it out in the movie either...), is it in the vertical plane while the pod (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Truly excellent work!!! "2001: A Space Odyssey" is one of my favorite all time movies--sci-fi or otherwise--so I know I'm probably a bit biased. But still, as Lego MOC's go I have to say that this is one of the best scale movie models that I've ever (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Jason, From the preview you gave a while back with the pod, I had high hopes for this MOC - and you shattered them. This is an excellent piece of work, which showcases the medium and displays the versatility of square pieces creating curved (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Honestly I don't think it's any different from when you guys last saw it. :) I think the only thing I had left to do after that was some minor detail work and swaping out some yellow hinges for black ones I was waiting (...)
