Tezclatipoca Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I am normally building Pirates, but when my son got out of my minifigs my old first spaceman ever, I had to build him a new vessel to play with... This lead to this little cute one : I thought the vessel was good enough to be shared with the community, so here it is. Hope you like it ! You'll notice that the poor spaceman has his helmet broken (as always with those old helmets from the 70's-80's...) I chose to leave him as he is because of nostalgy. He is really my oldest spaceman minifig ! Quote
danth Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) I really like it! It has a whimsy that a lot of Neo Classic Space MOCs lack. Very evocative of actual Classic Space sets! I wish we'd get that circular bubble canopy in trans yellow! Edited July 29, 2020 by danth Quote

You're right a bubble yellow circular canopy would be great ! Quote

Yes, broken chin strap as often with those old helmets... Quote
Professor Thaum Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Lol ! You display here some oldies (some bricks are really old) in a audacious modern design. I'm not fan of this trans clear canopy however... Perhaps with another one Quote
kieran Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 If you are not 100% a purist you can tint the clear elements with turmeric in water, would not be a perfect trans yellow but may work well enough Quote

I should try a trans yellow one but don't have one at the moment 44 minutes ago, kieran said: If you are not 100% a purist you can tint the clear elements with turmeric in water, would not be a perfect trans yellow but may work well enough Yes I should try it. But I tend to be a purist... Another existing trans yellow canopy would be better IMO. I will try to get one then... Quote
