I’ve been really inspired lately by Chris Giddens’ 1950s-esque retro-space aesthetic and I wanted to make a rocket in this vein. However, being me, it had to be a big spaceship with an interior, not just a spacefighter. I’ve also wanted to do something with a zero-gravity interior (since this is SPACE afterall), so.. here we go:

QUASAR!


I’m fairly sure this is the first spaceship to really offer a zero-g environment. Getting good convincing details in a zero-g environment is a bit tough - my next version of the Quasar will have a longer fuselage and will feature sleeping and eating areas.

Enjoy!

(...) It's turning out quite well. You put in fuel tanks! Excellent. I don't like the space wheel, but then I have a pet hate of space wheel nozzles. I'd like to see what the whole thing looks like with a dorsal fin, too. You've taken on quite a (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Lenny, I really like the overall shape of this rocket. I really can see this retro style in there! Wonderfull MOC, although I would like it a little bit more rounded. But the use of slopes works very well anyway. And I think your try at making (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Dude, do you really have a photo from the Princess Bride on a shelf in your house? Oh, the MOC, it's very cool. Unfortunately, I've had (URL) half a ship> with a zero G interior for years. Honestly though, you crammed more into that tiny (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) cover. You did the zero-gee very well, I picked up on that before reading the description, cause I like to look at MOCs first. Great job! George (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
  Re: Quasar Rocketship!
 
While I enjoyed this moc Mr. Lenny, especially the simulated zero-g interiors, I find the increasing number of "Lenny-shots" in the gallery quite disturbing. What's next?...Lenny doing naked snow-angels in the shattered remnants of his Brickfest (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

If this had been posted on Brickshelf under an anonymous name, I would have identified the builder immediately. It is unapologetically Lenny in style, complete with distinctive EB grey and red coloring, snotless exterior, and that charming smile. (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) -snip- Lenny, I always enjoy the expressiveness that you get out of your minifigs, whether they be floating in a cramped, zero-G fuselage or floating in the people's bathtub. That's a really nice interior. (20 years ago, 14-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I'm sharing some 'naked' pictures of the Quasar, showing how I gave it the rounded shape, etc. (URL) Basically shows the panels and how I used to snot to attach them. Its actually pretty basic stuff, given that you have one billion slopes. Which I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I can hear the 2001 theme song now. I can see it slowly twirling in space to enter the doughnut shaped Krispy Kreme fly through space station. Its beautiful. P.S. Damn your bazillion slope pieces! Create jealousy in me, will you? Oh, I didn't (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
