    I had that one as a kid too, but then again between me and my sister I think we had nearly all of them!

    Happy memories :D

    check this link out for a real nostalgia trip... Coby's Ray-Traced Lego Mania: Classic*Space

    Edit: Hotlinking images is evil. That makes me evil. Yay!

    Sad face?

    The sad face is a blocked link image link. :)

    Here's the kit that I'm building:

    6950 Mobile Rocket Transport

    I had the mobile tracking station!

    I think I got most of the space line in the end.

    I want whatever camera it is that you are using to take those pictures... LOL

    No, seriously, that is the most realistic plastic I have ever seen.

    I never did get my hands on any of the old school legos. I started with the little red indy cart off the back of a box of Cheerios. That and the little yellow jeep.

    I don't know if you know about this one, but this is a gd site in my low opinion (heh)...

    So real you could just about touch it.
  • stonkystonky350 Posts: 489Member
    Thanks - it would look even better if it wasn't for the crappy .jpg compression. :)

    The artifacts from the jpeg compression actually make it look that bit more real, like pics from digital cameras sometimes come out.

    I might have to offer my first little niggle in 5 pages of excellence.

    But the three way thrusters, I dont think it should have a bevel between the square brick and the rounds bits.

    It looks pretty much straight on in the pics I've seen, I've probably got a few too, I have masses of old and new lego scattered around the place.

    Man That look great.

    I was in the Lego Shop in Blue Water on Saturday. Getting a "Surprise" for the kids.
    I have am very impressed with the Star Wars lego collection, not as cool as the orignal space collection, but good in its own way. I would love to build the Mell, but at Aï¿¡375 it not goinig to happen.

    Hmmm...I'm sure that you're right, but I like the bevel (artist license? :lol: ) so I propose a compromise - I'll make the bevel half as wide. :)

    @Pearse - thanks for the rationalization, I'll take it. :)

    @Freak - thank you! Yeah, I like the Star Wars stuff too! I've been drooling over the large scale Millennium Falcon, but I don't think that I can justify the $$$.

    @biotech - thank you, much appreciated, it has certainly been a lot of fun!

    Yeah, detail is in the imperfection :) . CG appears to have only got to the point where they take this into account only recently. You know, to show off you could do a brick that's been chewed by your little brother, everyone knows that one.
  • stonkystonky350 Posts: 489Member
    I can chew my lego pieces all by myself, thank you. :lol:

    I'm almost finished this kit, pics coming.

    Wonderful stuff, brings back so many memories.....

    I still have the Galaxy Explorer packed away in storage...somewhere...though I'm not sure where.
  • stonkystonky350 Posts: 489Member
    Thanks, glad you like it. :)

    Almost finished the rocket:

    I had grown out of toys by then, by 82 I had my first "computer" a sinclair ZX Spectrum

    a Lot of the peaces that get fade out, do tend to come back.
