Using Red "Cylinder 6 x 3 x 10 Halves" in Your MOCs?

[DLuders]

Has anybody noticed the red #57792 "Cylinder 6 x 3 x 10" being used in the 2010 "Atlantis"-theme kits? There are RED ones used as propellor pods on the Set 8075 "Neptune Carrier" kit that you see in stores now, and they have Technic pins to hold them together. Even if you're not into the "Atlantis" theme, think of how the cylinder halves could be used in your next Technic MOC:

1) Engine intake cowling for a F1 Racer?

2) Wheel arches or fenders?

3) Fuel tank covers?

4) Jet engine housing?

5) Decorative cover on a Medium Power Functions motor?

There are available on Bricklink in both blue and red: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=57792 .

Some interesting ideas. The blue version appeared a few years ago in the 7990 cement truck. There is a corkscrew pattern inside, so you can make the cement (round 1x1 plates) come out by spinning it in one direction.

Maybe somebody could use a pair of these in some "Great Ball Contraption" (GBC) device. Better yet, maybe somebody could make a creature which is disgorging Lego plates out of its mouth!

I think there is a better chance this will make a really good RED cement mixer over in the town forum, I'm not convinced many technic fans will see large technic molds like this one to be the most useful pieces in their collection :-)
