The Mule ATV from Firefly

[CrustaceanFreak]

Well, I actually built this awhile ago while I was watching the Firefly Box Set for the first time. I didn't take pictures of it until today. The mini-figs are also fairly old (Most of the mini-figs were horrible, I only left in the ones I liked). I DEFINATELY needed some sort of Firefly-related thing on my Brickshelf gallery, considering how big of a Browncoat I am. It was a fairly simple build, but I still don't like the way the front turned out. Once I find some better references (I'll probably take some screenshots of it using a USB stick or something on my PS2), I'll redo it.

And now that I found some nice reference pics of the Mule from Serenity (Thanks to Ryan's Flickr gallery!), I'll finally be able to take on that project!
Bonus points to whoever can name the Mini-Figs correctly!

Constructive feedback appreciated!

People: In the large picture, Captain Malcolm, Inara and Wash.

The MOC: Being a fan of Firefly too, I must say that this isn't so good model. Basic 4,5 stud width LEGO car model isn't good enough base for this model. If you look at the film, you notice that the ATV is more like 6 studs (look how Wash sits on it). Also the colorscape is bit too bright, I would prefer tan.

If you wanna make me happy, use Bar 1 x 4 x 3 Window and Bar 1 x 4 x 2 with Studs over the wheels. If I am not wrong, that is pretty accurate to the model itself.

Good job on the 'figs, tho

Rate at this point: 3/5

I have never seen Firefly, so my views don't mean as much as TheQ. Having said that, here comes my feedback, I only hope its constructive and appreciated.

The front reminds me of a Dino Attack set my brother owns. That front piece could be changed. Everything else seems to be nice and simple. Just the way LEGO should be...
