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)

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)

Well done, Jason. It's great to see the old 'dog-bone' in LEGO. It's been a very very long time since I've seen the movie, but one glimpse brought a rush of recognition and nostalgia. I especially like the way you've integrated the saucer pieces (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
