DEAD MAN DANCE · "…with my good deed for the week thus complete, I smiled warmly, pulled the goggles back down, and resumed the incessant hammering of the kittens as they fell from the chute."
There’s something I really like about how sci-fi spacecraft were designed in the 1960s and 1970s.
During the boom after Star Trek had ended, just as Star Wars was showing up, and a lot of copycats were out there trying to work their designs around the iconic visual styles of the big names.
I love the ship designs there. It’s one of the reasons I love sci-fi concept art books so much.
I’ve got piles of notebooks of spaceship doodles, and while I really admit that none of my Lego spaceships were quite this ambitious, I like to think that I wasn’t too shabby back in the day.
meh.
Lego parts designed to be put together in a preordained fashion. More of an exercise in how well you can follow instructions vs. how creative can you get with a bunch of rectangular blocks.
I find myself underwhelmed.
I think I’d be more impressed with the stuff the Wee Bluesun cobbled together “back in the day”.
Yeah, but that guy is making 3 foot long ships with no instruction manuals!
The ships themselves are also not particularly rectangular.
