Anyway, Ryan Wood (aka Lights) over FBTB had pointed out several days ago that
Jon Palmer is hosting this P-38 Lightning Space Contest, so I said to my self
it would be cool to make an entry with a custom that also can be part of the
alternate project that I’m currently working on.. So I came up with this
custom, it’s called Luke’s “Armed Pod AP-3811”… you can check it out here:

I know it’s a bit radical for that contest, but hey, it still fits the rules
somehow :b.
Let me know what you think guys..
And if you want to check out the rest of the project that I mentioned above,
you can see it here:

Thanks in advance..

Welcome (back) to .space, Joseph.
You won’t find me commenting on Star Wars themed creations much here. I can’t
speak with much authority about it; I only saw the original movie when it came
out, in a theatre back in the mists of time, and I’ve seen most of the one with
the chuckwagon race... I mean pod race, on TV. I do like your MOC, though. I
see a bio-mechanical/ H.R. Giger-Alien/ Matrix/ Mecha vibe in the design, which
moves it beyond my experience of Star Wars. Well done.
The limitations you’ve set for yourself are admirable. (Though not as impressive
as if you’d tried to build spaceships using only Harry Potter or Belville ;-)
Limitations and challenges are often what drive inspiration. As for the P-38
connection, while I do see it, it is rather subtle and tenuous, but as Lenny
says: if it’s inspired by the P-38, it’s
in.
As for whether you get responses or not, I’ve found(1) that there is an
audience, which is often entertained/ interested/ amused even if they don’t
post. I post when I have something to add, and I have the time. If I could
respond to everything I’d like to, it would take all my time. Back in my lurking
days I was a voracious reader of posts when I was able. Surely there are others
lurking, who are enjoying this stuff. I find a distinct correlation between
Lugnet posts and MOC page traffic, for instance.
Perace and bio-mechanics,
Professor Whateverly
(1) From various
sources of course.

Giger-Alien" like vibe, but that wasn't intentional.. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hello, My name is Joseph Kazmo (aka Darkkazmo), I’m an AFOL and also a Lugnet member, but I haven’t been posting here due to the lack of interest in the Star Wars theme here over Lugnet.. You might assume that I’m a Star Wars LEGO fan and also a (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
