Tony Hafner has presented his very cool
Outcast Racer, for which much
praise is due. Very nice work, Tony!
Seeing this fine craft, I was inspired to try something similar, adding my
own (I hope) distinctive style.
Please let me know what you think of the
Apocryphal Blacktron Freudenshadow Racer.
Thanks for looking!
Dave!

Thread advisory: newsgroups reset to only .space
I’m not the curator of this group, but I’m wondering about the decision to
post this craft to .space to begin with, even though the FUT was set only to
.off-topic.clones. While I recognize Tony’s craft as applicable to .space,
the post’s subject is about the Freudenshadow Racer craft. Was calling it
“apocryphal” at least partly meant to make its non-Lego nature more
acceptable to readers of the .space forum?
Perhaps these are the ramblings of a purist, but it doesn’t seem to fit this:

Just curious...

More acceptable? I don’t know--readers will accept it or they won’t, regardless
of the title. And from the deafening thread-silence that has greeted my MOC,
I’d say that they won’t.
In any case, I see what you’re getting at, but I could argue that any MOC that’s
an homage to a particular theme without being officially of that theme is
likewise a departure from “LEGO SYSTEM Space™ products” as prescribed in the
charter, and my particular departure is different primarily by degree rather
than kind. However, I’m not blind to the purists’ distaste for clone bricks;
let’s say that all the parts in the Freudenshadow that have true LEGO
counterparts are actual LEGO elements, meaning that the craft is more than
two-thirds LEGO.
Dave!

| (...) Personally (not officially!) I think Dave found the right level of compromise. The craft is clearly a spacecraft, not a tugboat so it's a spacey topic, not a castly or towny one. People talk about non LEGO but space related topics here (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
