Sometime last year, I was sharing a very nice chinese meal with a couple of
fellow AFOLs (who shall remain nameless, but are both well known around here).
There was some alcohol consumed, but that’s probably irrelevant. Sometime during
the evening, the conversation turned to LEGO. Well it probably did many times
actually. But this particular time, the idea was put forward of a new space
(space!) faction.
Well most of you probably know, I don’t build space. But maybe because of the
company, maybe because of the wine, I agreed to build something for this
faction. So we had to come up with an idea. And as we were in a restaurant, and
all fans of the Muppets, all we could come up with was the Swedish Space Chef
Consortium.
Well we talked about it for a bit, and thought “what kind of ships would chefs
build?”. And the answer was, of course, ships that look like kitchen implements.
Mixers, rolling pins, various types of cutlery were all mentioned, as well as a
“silver champignon”, and a couple of other food-related items. But I decided to
do a corkscrew.
So I went home and did it. One of my co-conspirators kindly supplied a
rock-raiders drill piece, which I felt would be vital, and I didn’t own, but I
supplied the rest. And it was with glea that I showed off the resulting MOC to
the others.
But when I asked “where are yours???”, all they could do was mumble excuses like
“I don’t have enough parts” or “I’m working on some other super fantasmagorical
space thingy”, so I said I’d hold off posting pics for a while. But a year or so
later, it appears the SSCC is indeed a consortium of 1.
And here it is.

| Very cute creation, Ross. Am I right in thinking that the corkscrew turns? I gotta see if I have some chef hats. -Teddy (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
