CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

This is also a suuuuuper easy intro into building Space if you’ve never tried before.

Fun!

At least I don’t have to think about a closed cockpit! Just a good old 2×6 plate and some wedge plates to start. Studly!

I built most of mine yesterday during the meeting. @randomdan, does the minifig count against the 35 parts?

This was a great idea BTW. We should do more of these.

[Dan]

The minifig does not count towards the 35 parts, but accessories (beyond helmet/air tanks) do.

I think we can arrange these more frequently ?

Here is my entry.

Cosmic Comet II

a small recon craft used by the Federation Search and Rescue Team (stay tuned…)

I tried to retain many of the physical characteristics of the original. There are exactly 35 parts, plus the minifig.

I finished my skiff this evening. I’ll take some pictures in daylight tomorrow.

Thanks, Dan. I can’t wait to see your version.

[Benjamin C Good]

I have an idea for an entry but I have to find some parts to finish it. I should get my pic posted either this evening or tomorrow.

[Rich Millich]

I sm gonna try to play beat the clock for midmight tonight. No special presentation. My PC died anyway.

Outer Colonies craft RK/SP-303 Rockskipper, built for higher gravity super low atmospheric flight. Skim the sands.

35 parts exactly.

The secret to the construction lies below.

It’s a sturdy skiff. Thick ride.

First time I’ve built a craft on a ONE stud wide base. There’s your camera bricks, @randomdan.

I present the Kosmik Komit.

Daily driver of many a Scorpion Nebula settler.

No good for hauling, but clocks in at 0-60 in 4.5 universal seconds!

I like your camera brick usage @zaximillian! One stud wide is crazy! Next time I want to see a bar-based center ?

[Rich Millich]

@randomdan. Those LBG 1×2 panels to hold the long hoses in. Smart. And the guts to go with those long hoses in the first place. Trans-dark blue. And two sets of flight lights. Win.

[Rich Millich]

@tfdesigns. I really dig those 1×10 curved slopes so tight to the whip antenna. All aspects of the original set are there, super tightly packed and all shaping improved. I also dig the little scoop on the front.
