Started as an L corridor to go between two other moonbases and a way to use all
the snowboard ramp pieces I picked up around christmas time. I really like the
way the Bionicle lids / Gas containers worked out. In fact I liked it so much I
made these...
Made to transport Ice Planet Mined Gasses around where wheeled vehicles won't
do, the Walking Gas Transport (WGT or widget) can get where you need your gasses
to go. Don't mistake all those projections on the front for weaponry those are
for attaching to Gas Mining Equipment and such.
These guys got me very excited because they all need ships and speeders and
such. But I also wanted to keep going with the Aliens. But I wanted to make
them without the minifig body and these are the result.

I can see why you reused the idea. The spiders are great... and (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
(...) Oh, wow. These have the same undefinable charm as the aliens encountered in the 1980 Legoland idea book (URL). Fantastic, Patrick! -Teddy (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)
(...) Spotlighted for the alien work alone. These are classic guys that we all should use in our own work (and give credit to Patrick). -mark (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)
