I like the slick tyres. I’m quite staggered that this set was so hard to find.
It’s still 2004 isn’t it? It’s a 2004 set isn’t it? Cripes.

That’s a great use of those headlight pieces; love the angle. And, way to
build a cool MOC to show them off. I love it when those little ‘studies’ lead
to something this cool. As for the landing gear, you are the king of
refinement. Keep playing...
|
Thanks. Speaking of refinement, since I now have another one of those lightbar
pieces in red, I decided to remodel the rear end to match the front. I wanted to
do this originally, but didn’t have the part. So, regardevous!
Now I’m happy with it. No more fiddling.

Oh, and that soft focus yellow canopy is so full of nostalgia for a simpler
time... ah....
|
I missed Blacktron when they were new. That part was from a secondhand lot, so I
didn’t know which set it came from - it was just the right size. I was
originally going to use the 6x3x1 tr. yellow slope from classic space, but it
didn’t work out.

As for your wife, she should be proud of you and you should take her out for
dinner or something, you know ‘return’ the few hours...
|
Actually, we did go out for dinner that night... Not sure if she’s all that
proud of my legoing though.

Allow me to curse you for both your possession of a Blacktron canopy, and
your mad-dog landing gear skillz.

Oh No! I am cursed!

I’m formulating a theory that the southern
hemisphere doesn’t filter the sun’s radiation as efficently, giving rise to
innovative MOC building mutants.
|
Overcompensation for an inferiority complex perhaps?
Thanks Gil.
Cheers,
