   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.

Cheers,

Allister

Allister, this is simply a jaw dropping creation.. When I clicked that link, I discovered that I a big fan of that gallery “almac” but never thought it was you all this time.. I thought that mysterious “almac” is a Japanese LEGO enthusiast ;-) (I’m a big fan of those Japanese customizers).. It looks I was totally wrong..

This freighter is packed with all the details that I love to see in a space custom. The shape is simply the most creative, and the playability feature is just amazing..

No doubt, it’s one of your best..

Joseph
