I’ve enjoyed building these alternate models, so I may do a few more. Working with a limited palette of parts makes it interesting (although this set admittedly has a nice selection for spaceships). Plus, I like to champion the fact that a finite set of Legos can be built and rebuilt into an endless variety of things. That’s what makes ‘em great!

Incidentally, I’m curious what the best follow-up group would be for these posts. I’ve chosen lugnet.starwars since the models are all derived from a Star Wars set, but as my variations don’t necessarily reside in the Star Wars universe, I’m not sure if that’s appropriate.

Anyway, how do you like them?

These are fun builds, Jim. I especially like the first one for its angles and the fourth one overall. The placement of the star wars shooters in the hull works well to avoid the “I stuck a gun on here” quality that they usually convey. A limited palette is indeed a good challenge and you met it well.

Since these are space vehicles, they are absolutely welcome in .space. Feel free to post more of your work there; I look forward to seeing it.

Peace and palettes, Professor Whateverly

Since posting my previous (URL) alternate model> for the 6208 B-Wing, I have created four more, two of which can be built at once. Again I have also recorded them in LDraw format, which might be useful for anyone interested in building similar (...) (17 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)
