gunm Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Hi, hopefully I'm doing this properly--apologies if I missed anyting forum etiquette-wise. Edit: whoops, I did mess up already! I meant to say "MOD" not "MOC". Anyhoo, when I first built the Fire Blaster from 2010's Power Miners line, I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. My main issue was with the cockpit--while it is a clever way of handling the roll cage, it also means that the driver has to sit on a tiny, thin 2x2 space that drops off into nothingness. I mean, these new Deep Earth Miners do have some nice heavy armor suits to wear, but driving face-first into molten lava just doesn't seem kosher to me. Soo..I decided to change things up a bit by moving things around and spicing it up with a few spare parts (without making it overly complicated). Here's the result: Fire Blaster Re-imagined: Yes, I just moved the cockpit and controls to the center. I'm a genius! Just kidding. So now the cockpit isn't clever anymore...but it "seems" a bit more realistic... The tank is still in the back, and primed with the hose. I think there's enough lights on there...and now the dynamite isn't right next to my head! I'm sitting next to the exhaust pipes though! Eh, my suit will handle it... Ready to take on Combustix! Or whatever is lurking deep underground... Kinda wish the real set could've been something like this, but I did have to up the piece count some. Also, I did have fun messing with it so that's all that really matters anyways, right? Edited April 16, 2010 by gunm Quote
