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.

Nice contest entry but I don’t think it will win.
