rock raider Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Oh no! Space Man Spiff is hurtling towards the surface of an unknown alien world. He's going to scratch the new paint job! I've been on a Calvin and Hobbes kick recently and just couldn't resist recreating Calvin's most iconic fantasy I just love the idea of cruising through space in a shiny hot rod red spaceship. Click if you're interested in the construction of the craft Spoiler Thanks for looking. As always, constructive feedback is welcome.

MrSean7310 Posted May 23, 2020 Ooh... Very cool! I used to read Calvin and Hobbes every night when I was a kid, and this brought back some memories! Your build looks great, though! The technique you used to hold it all together is quite ingenious, much better than anything I could do. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more of your MOCs in the future!

icm Posted May 23, 2020 Really nice build there, and a stupendous custom minifig too! How much did the parts cost for this version? I built a Spiffcraft in Studio a while ago, based on one I found on Flickr, but I haven't ordered parts for it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danth Posted May 23, 2020 Wow, totally nailed it in every regard. Even the minifig! Loved Calvin and Hobbes. Got me through some tough times growing up. I nearly cried when I read the last strip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, such compliments, more MOCs are certainly coming. 20 hours ago, icm said: Really nice build there, and a stupendous custom minifig too! How much did the parts cost for this version?

The parts for this cost me about 15-20 USD on Bricklink. The most expensive part was the hair and I'm still trying to source this part for Spiff's Zorcher. 8 hours ago, danth said: Wow, totally nailed it in every regard. Even the minifig!

Calvin and Hobbes was definitely very important to me as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
