I don't like the colors very much, but it is extremely smooth in appearance, and it's very impressive how you've squeezed and compacted that much form and detail into something this small. It's like looking at a larger model, only far away to account for the size.

I remember the old mini-fig version from a couple years ago. As I said in the review and in the contest thread, great work! ilove the smoothness of it. The landing gear and the SNOT used is brilliant! |

You took my words out of my mouth. Amazing detail, bad color scheme. The landing gears and "Lennysphere" are mind blowing (well almost). With the colors, did you chose red out of lack of colors or was it your first choice? |

Red was chosen because it was the only colour I had the larger curves at the front in a quantity of 4. I might have had blue, but I liked that scheme even less. Ideally, it would have been dark red. Truthfully, I don't mind the colour scheme...except how EB-like it is. To each their own! Thanks - I'm glad you all enjoyed it. It was a really fun build. Check out this pic:  It shows the front section construction quite clearly. Pretty basic, it just uses my SNOT cubes. They're a pain to get together, but rival technic for strength once in place. The back isn't very well visible, but the method to hold the sphere on the back was a pain. It involved a jumper plate to center, then a inverted 1x1 technic brick, then an "O" clip off the bottom of that brick (Pointing up) to re-reverse it, then a brick ontop of that, then the sphere. Then further along the inverted 1x1 there's 4 plates, then another O clip to fasten it all in tightly, and hold it vertically in place. Finally, a 1x2x.66 and a 2x2x1 finish the SNOT offsets to make it all look seamless. That's just for the sphere. The back landing gear were the real pain. It all worked out, but there's still a few too many gaps for my taste. Truth? There's some touches of red left showing that I editted out in one pic. I got really lucky putting the engine bar across the back...I had built it exactly 10 bricks wide between the curvy pieces, when two 1x1 technic bricks were placed at the end of the 1x10, studs-out. Pure luck. I'm glad you all liked it, thanks! -Jail. |

Thanks!
The MOCpages page works for me. It was pretty slow though, dunno what's up with that.
