Hi all,
Here’s my entry in the contest. It’s a garbage truck used for plucking
defunct satellites and other space debris from orbit.
It’s a bit derivative, being part Quark’s garbage ship, part Chris Giddens’ PCS, and just a little bit Pete’s
Dragon. Anyway, I had fun building it, and the boy gave it the thumbs up:
“It’s got lots of activities!”
plmkwyt.

I think this thing is great. I don’t like the colors, though intellectually,
they seem right, it just doesn’t work in my mind, maybe it’s because all the
garbage trucks around here are dark green. Anyways, this seems to be a really
well thought out and well designed MOC. I think the shape is great, just the
right chunkiness for the task. The arms are great, and the garbage depositing
mechanism is quite clever, when I saw the first pic, I was wondering how it got
anything inside, and then BAM!
I’d never heard of this Quark and his garbage ship, but it looks interesting,
thanks for adding that in there.
