B27-OT freighter

[Bob De Quatre]

This is Rodrigue, the mustached space pilot.

Rodrigue recently lost his job when the ship he worked on, the XB-13, got dismantled.

Fortunately, he found a new one in a deliveries company.

This ship he has in charge is a B27-OT freighter. Rodrigue calls "her" Mary-Anne.

Mary-Anne is a good ship, she's designed to transport containers from one point of the universe to another, as quickly as possible.

The universal deliveries company convention doesn't allow the freighter to have weapons.

So the only things Rodrigue can rely on to escape some space pirates are Mary-Anne's two oversized engines, her huge radar dish, and her long-distance communication antennas.

Mary-Anne has long legs. Rodrigue wonders how he could land her if by bad luck one of them got damaged during a flight.

In his spacious cockpit, Rodrigue fly alone. He is his own master. He is king Rodrigue!

Rodrigue usually convey standards space containers.

But today, Rodrigue's mission is quite particular. A strange girlish man by the name of Link asked him to deliver a special item. Link's princess is missing, and it seems that it's not the first time. So that Link guy went on Ubay and bought a second hand cryogenised princess. He said it was to spare his "Triforce". Rodrigue wonders if he was referring to the same "force" as the one these strange man spoke of to him a few years ago in galaxy far far away. Rodrigue disapproves of Link's behavior. But the customer is always right.

Rodrigue doesn't like transporting non-standard containers, like the ones the M:Tron use. They are so small, and Rodrigue had to load them on Mary-Anne one at a time, and to make profits, he had to load a lot of them.

See you next time Rodrigue.

So that's what happens when I can't find sleep... Just had to design the rope mecanism this morning as it's hard to concentrate enough at 3am.

It's a basic ship, the feets retract under the structure, the crane lift and rotate, and the rope length is controlled by rotating the radar dish.

Had trouble catching it on pics due to it's size. And I need to spend more time cleaning the plates, I know...

Nice, I like how it totally follows the feel of your other SHIP.

And those are really cool use of the baseplates as backdrops. The monorail pieces to hold up the wings are cool - though I'm surprised at how much wait it holds!

Though you should probably dust before your next build :P

or do a quick wash will help with the presentation factor.

I used the baseplates because I was too lazy to get some paper sheets, but I don't regret my choice

Behind the base plates is the frame of my WIP super star destroyer.

The monorail supports are each attached to one 2434 brick, I admit I am suprised it holds, I was planning to attach them to two 2434.

The flash on my cellphone must have some special power wich rveal the most tiny bit of dust

When I'll destroy it, I'll clean all the parts, and sort them again, some are in very bad shapes and I don't want to mix them with the new parts I'll start to collect.
