 | | New MOCs: Space Jalopy, Roadster, and Tug

|
I have 3 new space creations up on my site. The first two are a bit Jetsons-ish, and are before- and after-conversion shots of the same vehicle: Space Jalopy: www.hafhead.com/lego...index.html Roadster: www.hafhead.com/lego...index.html The tug is a (...)

(...) Very nice! I like the before-and-after bit. But doesn't Gordon's mother worry about him racing around in a souped-up car with no roof? (...) Also very nice. I was impressed with the shot of it I saw before, and now even moreso. Very nice use (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Heh. Good stuff. Reminds me of the local punks driving Honda Civics with gigantic wings on the back end. (...) Good to see the tug again. :^) ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) It's not half as dangerous as the car was beforehand- the ClunCo 200e isn't exactly known for its safety. And he does wear a helmet. But seriously, she's more concerned with his car obsession. His grades are dropping and she worries what he'll (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Oooh neato! The before and after is a nice touch and all the commentary is great! :-P The detail on the tug is stunning! The pics just kept coming and coming and coming! Like has been said before, very innovative cockpit design. --Kyle (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Thanks! Engines have been a new focus for me- until recently I've just slapped some 4x4 cones onto the back of whatever I'm making. But I'm very consciously experimenting with them now. I even damaged a piece in the construction of the Roadster's (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Or did I miss something because I was focused on (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

Yeah, I noticed that too a couple of weeks ago. I also damaged several pieces before finally realizing that LEGO made some major size errors with this piece. :-( Anyways, it's great to see you actually putting some thought in the engines, very few (...)

(...) Ha! I guess you guys got spoiled with my frequent new MOCs. Well, I've been working, never fear. This time, I'm replacing frequency with quantity. I've been working on this: (URL) about 90% done. It'll probably be finished this weekend. :^) (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I like the before and after idea,I'll have to try it with something:-) I love the detail on the engines, I've never seen a steering wheel unsed like that before! I don't know exactly what I like about the tug but I do like it, maybe its the fact (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Yup, those look more interesting than simple 4x4 cones slapped on the back (which unfortunately, is what I still do =p). I especially like the Space Tug: good use of those podracer fins (aren't you glad they come in grey now?!). The 45 degree (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Plates won't actually fit- only tiles seem to have any binding at all. And the binding is *very* fragile. If there wasn't a flat surface below to keep the tiles square, they would fall off. I tried round 1x1 plates too, thinking that I (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
