 | | Quasar Rocketship!
|
| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

| (...) 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)

| 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)

Those 'special' pictures were meant for you and you alone >wink< But in all seriousness, the multiple lennyshots are from my difficulty of balancing the camera on the back of the (...)

| Use spare LEGO beams and parts to make a better platform for the camera while you get into position. Pros: Costs you nothing, can be "recycled" after use without a trip to the recycle centre. Cons: Except, of course, buildtime and suitable spare (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.space)

| 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)

| (...) Lenny, Yeah, this is a good way to do it, if you have the million slope. Were I to try this, I would have to make some vomitous color combination of red, black and blue to get enough slopes. Thanks, George (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
