Hi all,
Well, as promised I’ve finally got around to finishing and photographing my
latest moc.
It’s a small freighter used primarily on the Earth/Moon run.
I deliberately built this incorporating several .space no-no’s:
- It’s boxy. I tried to make it a reasonably cool box though.
- It’s black, although I hope you find the photographs clear enough
- No cool new parts in clever usage. It’s all pretty basic stuff.
At least it’s got retractable landing gear, and the boy loves playing with
the ramps.
For the eagle-eyed, yes Jon’s
Bison was certainly
an influence.
Comments and criticism are welcome. Smack, non-sequitors and tangential
ramblings are purely optional.

In all seriousness, from the side this reminds me of a cartoon dog with legs
waaay to small. But it’s a righteously gnarly cartoon dog with legs waaay to
small!
Beautiful detailing and neat play features. Does the side ramp have
hinges at its top, or do you pull it all the way out and then hook it back on?
Other neat stuff:
- Incredible greebling where greebling is called for
- Large expanses of smooth surfaces that make sense
- Halfway hidden mechanical details behind/between those smooth surfaces
- Lots of hoses inside the engine area
- Well-detailed interior, including the 918 Homemaker stove brick!
