contests to keep one busy. Specially space themed ones! ;)
Even if most of the Intergalactic space era battles takes place in space some
vehicles is still needed on the battleground. On many planets wheels are the
most efficient way to get around. So behold, the futuristic IGMLRS!
(InterGalactic Multiple Launch Rocket System). With it’s awesome firepower
consisting of 41 long range rockets (with a multitude of warheads) and two
additional intercontinental rockets it’s a feared competitor on the
battlefield.

I really enjoyed looking at this MOC. I like the bunker-type slit windows with
the deployable blast shields, and the reloading missile launcher cartridge. All
the moving parts fit together tightly in stowed mode. I felt the wheel wells
were particularly well-done also.
I thought the interior colors were a bit too scattered, but I suppose it evokes
the image of a cluttered, busy control center with mix-and-match equipment.
Nice work!
