Legostein Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Hello everybody! It's my pleasure to share a rather unconventional space vehicle with you today. It's the Eagle V of the science fiction parody Spaceballs from 1987. Here's a little dialogue to remember the scene of first appearance: Princess Vespa (speaks in microphone) after having been rescued by Lone Starr: "Now you hear this, whoever you are, you will not touch that luggage, and furthermore, I want this pig-sty cleaned up. I will not be rescued in such filth!" Lone Starr (speaks in microphone) to princess Vespa: "Listen. On this ship, I don't take orders, I give 'em. This is my dream boat, sweetheart." And now the mini model. It's very small. Most difficult part was the position of the front wheels for a typical camper van. They are at the very front but needed some cover from the front. I took minifigure neck brackets which also have the function to close the gap to the SNOT windscreen attached on the side of a TECHNIC brick. All images and instructions can be found here. Have a great day! Yours Christopher Edited January 16, 2010 by Legostein Quote
Big Cam Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I entered this thread saying to myself, does he really mean the motor home? How is he gonna do that. Excellent job, the tan bricks seal the deal. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 GOOD ONE 'Legostein' !!!!! Great micro space, next can I request 'MEGA-MAID' - Lord Helmets command ship - 'Suck, suck !' Spaceballs the movie ! 'Spaceballs - there goes the neighbourhood !' Quote
Corvus Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Always great to see a Spaceballs MOC. Maybe make some mini Spaceball spaceballs, too? Quote
Legostein Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 Hello! Thank you for the comments! I'd love to do that space-maid starship of the Spaceballs, but it would have to be able to transform between its two forms. Otherwise I would not be satisfied. It could take some time until I'll be able to come up with something adequate. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
JayDuck Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Ha, that's great! Too bad it's too small for hide-away Secret Hyperjets. Edited January 10, 2010 by JayDuck Quote
Legostein Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 Thank you. Yeah you're right about concealed details. Such things with moving functions are extremel hard to realise, especially at that scale. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
