Paul, great stuff.  From the sounds of things, you've hit upon a whole new
side to space Lego and beat the rest of us to making something of it.  I
just came up with the idea of a big, campy red-and-white-checkered rocket
ship (kind of like the Tintin one, if any of you know what I mean) a few
days ago, and now I come across your post.  Good work. :)

United Earth Space Force Rocketship X-74 "Pathfinder"

The Pathfinder is designed for long voyages of exploration within our • solar
system. She features working and living space for a crew of six.

Thanks, and LMKWYT!

Construction note:

I have nowhere near enough gray bricks (or any other color for that • matter) to
build this ship the way I wanted to. My wife - who was horrified at the • prospect
of me buying all those gray bricks - suggested that since I was planning • to have
the photos be black and white anyhow, it didn't really matter what color • it was
built in. Blue, red, green... they all look the same when converted to
grayscale.

So I built it in a hodge-podge of colors. In real life, it looks ghastly - • but
the photos turned out OK. Valid construction technique, or heresy?
