Accompanied by his trusty robo-oxen Be55ie, Rocketwell blasts across the
desolate prairies of outlaw worlds in search of..well..outlaws! Typically
travelling the galaxies aboard transport vessels, Rocketwell relies on his
old wagon (loaded with all sorts of weaponry) for travel on planet’s
surfaces.

As always, I’m interested in all comments and criticism! :)

See, I’m torn here. Part of me really likes the design, and part of me
doesn’t. The robo-ox and stage coach all look nice, and serve their function,
but they look kinda.. santa-claus to me. I mean, if it wasn’t a robo-ox, but
a robo-deer, and the stagecoach was red, well, it would be a super-cool
robo-santa. Dunno if thats actually a problem or not, but I dont like it so
change it right now!

There are key elements of an old western wagon that I worked to incoporate into
the futuristic design. One is the circular shape of the wheels (represented here
by the radar dishes). Santa’s sleigh ain’t got no wheels. :P
I was looking at my pictures after photographing the completed model, and I
began to question my use of that bar w/studs for the oxen’s horns. They were the
first and only piece I tried for the horns, but looking back now I think they
appear rather stubby, like antlers. I don’t really have much else that would
work as horns though, so if you or anyone else could help me out with
suggestions, I’d appreciate it! :)
Thanks for the comments, Lenny.
