Mitch Henry Posted March 11, 2019 As a child, Captain Benjamin "Benny" Thomas always dreamed of soaring through the stars in his very own spaceships... Perhaps his dreams will come true one of these days but until then it's back to routine maintenance for him. More photos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a big fan of those tires.

BacktoBricks Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) The pure emotion that this inanimate object evokes is just crazy; I can totally feel their isolation. It's like Wall-E in spaceman form. I think the slight tilt down of the head does a lot in persuading your brain that there are eyes looking out from under that dark visor. Great job ?.

sander1992 Posted April 2, 2019 Great build for the figure. I like the use of the 2x2 printed tiles on the pipe connectors (?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retro Posted April 15, 2019 I saw this in a different, but no less touching way. I thought the (alien) spaceman was huge and the structures on the ground were a human-sized moon base. So he was sad because he was too big to interact with humans... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the slight tilt down of the head does a lot in persuading your brain that there are eyes looking out from under that dark visor. Great job ?. Thank you so much! Ironically, the head angle was what informed the emotion of the moc. The construction of the moc forces the head to lean forward a bit, but I think it turned out for the best that way.

Admittedly those parts aren't completely necessary, but I liked the print on them and thought they were thematically appropriate so there they are lol. If I'm being completely honest I'm not even sure what set they're from On 4/10/2019 at 9:30 PM, iammac said: He himself could use a bit of maintenance... or a furlough. Feels bad fam.
