Eat me, please

[LuxorV]

At the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, you can choose your dinner: there's a strange talking animal who wants to be eaten, and says that.

Arthur and Trillian are a bit shocked by this...

From: Restaurant at the End of the Universe - D. Adams

More pics.

The scene should include Ford and Zaphod, but I had some puzzlement about how to make a two-headed, three-armed Zaphod :-/ , so they don't appear in this vig.

Anybody did it 8-| ?

I don't know this book or any of Adams' work but I love this vig. It's well-built and very amusing! Of course, I'm a sucker for anything that uses Fabuland pieces-especially the figs... :-$

An animal that wants to be eaten :-D

Nice little scene in this vig.

Thanks to Hinckley and guys like you I'm also falling in love with the Fabuland figs *wub* .

Thanks :-$

And, expect to see more of these Fabuland in my next MOCs... expecially a certain walrus, a bulldog, and a crocodile I just got from BL ;-)

I would have voted for this, without a doubt, just on principle. I almost built it myself (though I would have been stuck for how to ldraw it without fabuland figs in the system), both for the possibility of using a similar title and because it's so thoroughly exposes the genius/madness of DA.

Great job! *wub*

Talking Hamburger On! *y*

Sadly, I only got the idea last week, while reading the book for the second time in a month *wacko* , so it could not enter the contest |-/

Okay, I give up. What's the table base made out of? The more I look at this the more cool detail I see. I'm not big fan of vigs, but I really like your furniture construction and attention to detail... :-)

[Vader]

Wow that's a really simple and yet effective moc you have made there *y* I love the fact that the floor colour matches the cows face X-D

It's just one of these:

I started building tables this way when I used to build houses with my sister, some 20 years ago :-$

[Hinckley]

oh duh!!!! :-$ oops. For some reason, it looked like the base was square. It looks like it is flush with the tiles from the angle you took the picture. Thanks for clarifying! *sweet*

Actually that's another Luxor V camera trick. The Fabuland cow-head red is a unique color. It doesn't truly match the red of those tile. Geez, do I sound like a know-it-all? Let that be a lesson-don't mis-color-match Fabuland on Hinckley's watch! :-| :-P That's why I'm thankful this is an online community because in real life this is where I'd be whacked or thrown in a garbage can... :-/

Ohhhh get you...Mr know it all!!! :-P X-D

Well how ever it was done it looks great :-)

I can't remember if it was actually stated in the book or not, but to me the red floor is much like the red painted decks of a pirate ship, designed to hide the blood, or in this case, symbolize that the polite cow standing before you is about to be slaughtered for your eating pleasure.

Deep, huh? *wacko*

[Asuka]

A very nice and funny work! *y*

[LuxorV]

Thanks all :-$ , and...

Heheh, great! Each one of these reminds me of the book, I really need to buy it!

[Lt. Col. Thok]

ROFLMAO. :-D

I love your Adams vigs. This is one of the more...bizzare parts of the series.

[Siegfried]

Very smart! *wub* I love that cow; if I was to pick a second favourite fabuland character it would be the cow. (Number three would probably be the elephant.) I have no idea of how you could do Zaphod, but I bet Chuck could think of a way. :-P Great work. *sweet*

And, expect to see more of these Fabuland in my next MOCs... expecially a certain walrus, a bulldog, and a crocodile I just got from BL ;-)

:-P Is there a Walrus mech coming? :-D

I agree, Chuck is one of the few builders I can think of who could come out with a way to build Zaphod.

Since you ask so politely, I'll tell you I'm going to build new mecha (including a Walrus Special, if I can get a proper design out of the few bits of ideas I got for now 8-| ) as soon as the EB-members inspired Mech Contest ends (it should start today :-D ). Say after 15th dec ;-) .

Cool! I haven't decided if I will enter that or not. At the moment I am enjoying catching up on planned MOCs too much. :-P

[El Bucanero]

That Douglas Adams fellow has great humour!! :-D

An almost studless vig! Very nice and clean scene.

Those Fabuland figs are quite cool. Perhaps I can put them to good use.. Like a figurehead perhaps..

Hinckley, you should definitely check out Hitchhiker's Guide sometime. I think the humor (or "humour" I guess, since Adams was British) would be right up your alley. Lots of random silly nonsense.

I watched the Hitchhiker's movie again this past weekend. It's ... okay. I can't make myself like it as much as I WANT to like it. It actually starts off great, but goes wildly off the tracks about half-way through, and just kind of meanders to the end.

And since today is Thursday, I feel obligated to add, "This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

Too true. I loved the first half of the movie for it was so like the book. But then it goes down a lot, with all those strangeness about Zaphod's second head being held as hostage, the super-weapon (which is probably inspired to the 3
